taurean Posted April 10, 2020 Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) No. I am just the labourer, my wife is the designer ☺️ But we have bought about 20 sandstone rocks, so there is a clue 😔 Edited April 10, 2020 by taurean Quote Link to post
Orwell1984 Posted April 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 Sounds like a great project for you both to get your teeth into. I love sandstone. It’ll introduce a Grecian or Roman flavour to your garden Quote Link to post
taurean Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 The sandstone is at the moment just looking beautiful, we are not planning to plant up the rockery this year, as I think that ship has sailed 🚢😊 But the border is looking nice just with the planting we have made. Quote Link to post
AmandaG Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 That's looking nice. I was thinking of a rockery under the two big trees in our garden, but I've already planted daffodils there, and we've had a lot of fungi/mushrooms growing in the shade, which would be a shame to destroy. I love the idea of gardening for nature. We don't use weedkiller or try to remove dandelions, daisies, buttercups and clover, and as a result we get interesting butterflies, bees, plus small birds love coming down into the grass to feed on insects and seeds. For quite a built-up area, where most people have covered their gardens with paving, decking or gravel, it's a bit of a haven for wildlife. I've just sent for a nyger seed feeder, after discovering that there *are* goldfinches in this area, plus coal tits and blue tits. Quote Link to post

Caramoole Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 I know it's Winter now & everything is died back and the photo shows your garden very newly planted up but let's have a current photo of that same shot Roy. It will be good to see it pre-Spring and then watch how it matures through the year Quote Link to post

Caramoole Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Thank You. Doesn't need to be sunny, just not pouring down Quote Link to post
Hal Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 The calm after the storm...it's looking lovely in the sun Roy. Rather envious of your lawn, ours needs some much needed attention in the Spring I think. Quote Link to post
snowbear Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Ooh, I like your fence with the trellis top, Roy! My garden took a backseat last year with no gardener able to attend for months. Then it underwent a radical chopping back and ripping out phase in autumn so it's really bare just now. I'm waiting to see what pops up this spring and whether anything survived being buried under the forrest of overgrowth. Exciting times! Quote Link to post
Caramoole Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Still looking good Roy. Will be nice now to watch it through the seasons.....hope you'll share regular updates Quote Link to post
taurean Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 I will update. In the front garden Julie's hard landscaping work last year is paying off and the bulbs she planted are sprouting. We both have painting by numbers sets to tackle. Mine is of the brilliant steam locomotive "Flying Scotsman". We both love Scotland. Quote Link to post
