Sounds great very good idea. I wish I had had a plan to start with but mine sort of evolved over time.
How's it going?

Hi Just thought I would say if you are interested that over the years we have painted fence across the garden varying colours but the best so far is the current one pale green - here have a look it sort of blends into the background but looks really nice itself.
And does not cut the garden in half as a darker colour or brown would do.

Just a thought as you are putting up a fence - or two and mine keeps two Staffords in .

Soil kind err....well, they said it's good for laying flags on, but the parts for the borders are good for planting plants in!! lol

At the bottom of the garden, where the black bin is and the soil is piled, I am hopefully going to have veggies there

No idea what plants, as I know nothing about them! Might leave that to my Mum!
