My project & rocky soil

Ok today i started cementing my wall at about 7/8pm.

I got most of it done but it needs about 10 more bricks and we ran out of cement, i actually had to get 2 lamps from my room to finish off the last of the cement.

I also managed to loose my keys and had to climb up to the 1st floor kitchen window to get back in.

All in all we got the majority done so it's ok, i also had a go at cementing (myfriend is a builder and he showed me how). So next week i am going to cement in the seating area and put the rockery down and then lay the lawn at the end of it all. Finally finished just after 10pm.

Off to B&Q again, ill try not too buy soo much this time Wink

There still seems to be SOO much glass and rocks in my garden ever after taking a lot out, oooh, it's hard work.

How is everyone elses garden going? any big problems?

Eileen i'm also curious as to how big your garden is. You say you have an organic garden which means that you have to pull those weeds out by hand and/or dig them up. The thing is as my garden isn't massive, 66sqm soil/soon to be grass area, i would have thought that digging a hole for every weed would make my garden look real patchy.

Also what weed and feed do you use? if any.

Sooooo glad you found your keys - I hate losing things like that and am always relieved when I find them again. Smile

Typical that it should rain when you weren't dressed for it eh? If you'd been in a raincoat and wellies the sun would have been splitting the heavens!! Laughing

KNEW you would change your garden plan Murray. Wink

As I said I changed mine four times and then in the end did something completely different. Embarassed

1/3 of an acre takes a lot of work but thankfully most of my shrubs are evergreen and all the trees need trimming only once or twice througout the summer. The bark chippings help to keep the weeds down and the ten foot (circular) pond takes up a fair cit of space too. Our next project is to get on with the waterfall but my taddies still haven't decided to vacate the water. Sad

They do have back legs now and are showing signs of front ones too so it shouldn't be too lond now. Very Happy

Then when the fall it done with we have to get the solar lighting put in and think about where to erect a greenhouse. Phew there's always something to do in a garden isn't there!!!

Just had a thought I do a lot of seed swapping with friends and have a bit of an excess at the moment. They should still be viable for next spring as they're all from good stock. When I get the chance I'll try listing them all for you and see if there's anything you fancy - FOC of course!! Very Happy

That should help get you going as they can easily be put into pots if you don't fancy them in the garden itself. Also saves you a fair bit of money 'cause I know you're on a tight budget.

Right I'm off to have a shower and then relax for a while - my poor old back is aching!!! Crying or Very sad

BFN.
