Great job it's all looking really good. Lots of work to do there.

You were very lucky to get a trunked C medularis, it's one of my favourite TF. You should be able to tell if it's ok by gentle feeling inside for the new fronds pushing up. The ones on ours are already on the move and pushing up.

Keep up with the pic's.

The garden looks like it is coming together Becky and Greg and the plans you have sound great! I love the idea of the tree ferns up the slope and the sizes you've bought will def give the right atmosphere. I love the raised deck too Greg..extra garden room and a lovely design. 2 more members of the forum that have the bug!

Hi Greg

I, too, love the idea of the tree ferns up the side of the steps. Like Petefree said - an irrigation system would probably be a godsend during the summer months.

(Can I just say - you need a new pair of jeans though! )

Cheers

John

lol that is so funny jon it really made me laugh he cant afford no more after spending £300 this week on tree ferns, no, hes got so many pairs of work clothes its un real he wears his best ones to do things and recks them and then they become his work jeans , he could do with throwing them ones away though i defernatly agree

[becky]

some clearing up been done today, cleared the left hand side ready for the tree ferns to go in moved 4 car loads of branches to the skip , and burned loads too, all leftover from when greg cut next doors tree down to allow us more sun ,wonder if the neighbour is missing her 30ft sycamore tree .

garden is starting to look great heres a few progress pics hopefully i can post you it finished soon ,

[grub]

Sorry Becky , now you and Greg have started it'll never be finished .There's always going to be something else you just have to have

[Cathy]

Becky, you have such a lot of work to do but you have made good progress, due no doubt to having a keen young assistant 'helper'! Well done!
Cathy.

[becky]

yes loads of work to be done, gregs very keen now, the other lads my cousin andy who pretty much lives here lol hes always here helping greg and little bailey just loves digging for worms so yes plenty of help,

[Cathy]
