Re: New house, 7 days to create a garden
Day 5,
Got a lot of membrane and wood chip down in the planting area's. Started to move a few palms / plants out of holding ready to dig in. Starting to take shape, a little. Day 6 will probably start on Tuesday due to Bank Holiday which always seems to coincide with Budweiser Sampling Weekend. Seems to coincide every bank holiday.

Re: New house, 7 days to create a garden
Sorry Arlon been busy this week unpacking boxes. Just want to get in the garden. Yours is really coming on. I've decided which is going to be my hot border and my more shady border. I'm also going to extend my patio and keep a few of the more tender plants on it. Got to dig up a lot of boring shrubs first. I want my Tree fern to go in first in pride of place as it's started to spring into action.

Re: New house, 7 days to create a garden
Hi Dino
mines gonna be all planting up now, loads of small filler stuff we've grown from seed etc 20 x 40 cell trays = 800 plants, plus other small stuff in pots etc that'll be exciting. not. Its gotta go out tho, its struggling now in the trays.
I'm having weekend off so won't be touching it till tuesday at the earliest, then again itching to plant some bigger stuff out so that could change.
Also just took delivery of 1300 victorian bathroom tiles, so i should really crack on with it.
Good luck with yours, where's the pics i need idea's

Re: New house, 7 days to create a garden
A t.rex, I'd love to, everyone seems to rave about them. Saw Cathy's not so long ago but it was only still small. Hopefully, when i start planting up some larger stuff it'll look better. If not next option is 80 tonnes of tarmac
