|
we knocked down the old wall and saved the rubble for the new patio
all the trellis was taken down and any plants not wanted was taken out
the walls were painted Magnolia and the base of the patio was laid
a general view of the garden
new heavy duty trellis was put on the wallls
the circular wall for the patio is put in
the patio circle is started
ready for sitting out 
some simple planting of two box balls and mini hedge , with lavender planted at the rear

Hi Bugs ,A fantastic place you have
made .It is great .Looks nice and peaceful.
I guess I'm blind Bugs I can't find the pesky one.
If I tackled a job like that I would never get it finished.

Sorry I forgot to mention Bugs Junior in the first photo . His ambition is to be a gardener ( 5th generation ). The gnome is in the second last pic

Ah man I can't see that gnome at all! I guess they perfected that new stealth technology they were working on. Any more clues Bugs?
