Not sure who will find this interesting but i'll give it a go

I started the year like this: not had a frost yet but its ended up like this which i am happy with for year 1: Just starting the next stage of transformation to give it some proper style, the landscaping bit will probably take a few weeks/months to 'finish' as its too dark after work and I do like to do things with my family at weekends... anyhoo heres what I started today, which helps me to visualise what its going to look like a lot more than before (circle is 7m dia.) This will eventually be a smaller gravel circle filled with palms surrounded by a grass path, surrounded by borders filled with whatever I can lay my hands on

more to follow as and when time permits...

I expect alot of people will find this interesting! But not me!

Only joking!!! keep the piccies coming!
I was going to do something similar with my garden but showing a few stages that it went through, from when I got it, up to present day.

Lookin good you'll soon have it filled out

I love seeing garden transformations!

Nice work so far FF.

Looking good FF, great to take pics, its easy to forget once your garden matures just how plain it once was . My last garden was all circles, circular patio, beds and lots of curved shapes, it will look great when complete

Well done FF. I can't wait to see the end result.

lkooks brilliant but there is a weird row of trees around your garden

those trees of the devil will go once the borders fill out enough to stop the neighbours cutting accross my lawn

on my trips to shopping centers i have always noticed that it doesnt matter what plants are there the shortcut paths still appear.

ever thought of a fence?

Ah someone else suffers the curse of the corner plot!!!!

I`m considering planting a row of yucca gloriosa to stop the little tw*ts!

Garden is looking good

I will be trying to deter corner cutters with yuccas
unfortunatly not allowed fences out front as its 'open plan' though trees are allowed...

to catch up on 2007 until now:

Cool video!

If I had a corner garden that wasn't allowed fences I'd try these options:





or my personal favourite:



Of course, I'm not completely heartless. I suggest a warning sign:

nice vid FF!

did you rest the camera in the exact same spot each time or just stood in the identical spot?

roughly the same spot, photoshops photomerge function manages to stretch and line things up nearly perfect
