Diary of a weekend gardener

J&P's garden

With a 50th birthday deadline looming the priority for this weekend was to make some serious progress on J&P's garden. This project started last March, but I've only been back three times since and progress was painfully slow. However, I made up for it this weekend.

The particular design challenges presented by this garden include an large blue trampoline, a 2ft drop from the patio to the lawn and an ugly fence. All of these are staying, although the fence is being repainted, so they are being worked in. The borders still need more planting, and a step is missing from the patio, but things are looking better. The bottom photo is as it was last March. The middle one is as it was yesterday morning and the top one as it is now. It's taking shape and is fit for a party, that's the main thing.
