Here's a few shots of my little U.K garden. I live in Cornwall in the far south west of England - one of the mildest areas of the UK. This was June 06 when I started...  September 06...slow going!  May 07..planting yay!!  Summer 08...  I'm trying to attract as much wildlife as poss..so have bird feeders and a bird table and have dug a small pond. Behind the hedge at the end is where my new veg patch is going to be...yay!!! I can't wait!! |

Very Nice windymiller, Thats a real nice yard/garden and what a view!
I LOVE seeing laundry on the line, as soon as our ground is dried up enough to walk on, there will be laundry hanging
In the first set of pics, top left, what are those black "Tank" looking things beside the wall??
If you don't mind me asking

It's the oil tank for me central heating Phil...it's all nicely fenced in now with Honeysuckle and Clematis growing up it. Bloody eyesore really...but a vast improvement on the coal I had before. Not a lot you can do to pretty up a coal bunker |

I hope not Nope Windy, you are safe, the Garden..is never done!! I need the "perk" of working off some winter "fluff" myself... don't know how much it takes to lose enough for two dress sizes...but I know I need to lose enuff to get into the clothes I have... Yes, stubborn, NO, I will not by larger clothes... But summers coming...who needs clothes   |
