There you are Pat(MissE)

Been a slow coach I admitt, but finally got the garden path finished, so about the wee wee stain....proves they go out I suppose

I really like that, mom!
Puts me in mind of the Secret Garden , with something new round every corner - and I saw a goldfish in one of those pics too!
I love bark chippings, they do make a place feel foresty and they keep the weeds down! We're having bark in the cottage flower area of the front garden.
Love all your pots too - what's the pinky/purple flower?

Pat, I was just going to say the same about the secret garden thing, I have seen Stephs garden, although only briefly and it is lovely, very mature garden plants. I love little nooks and crannies. Not much chance of that here, with only a blooming patio
Well done steph, working hard again I see
Elaine xxxx

(PS MissE - it took me ages to spot the goldfish )

Love it!

It does remind you of a secret garden.

How big is your pond?, used to have a pond but not now I miss it, but not sure Sal would stay out.

Haha, I was thinking secret garden too. Any before pics?

I'll pop a pic up for you
No not really, before when we moved in it had 1/2 a car buried in it and clumps of soil, and grass, whith arounf 2 ft of old house bricks, and brambles. It took a good 18 months to clear. I know that, glad those days are gone.

looks like a cottage garden
