The back few feet of garden and path are coming along slowly. Most of the bricks and slabs are up, concrete has been removed and is getting added to bags to pay for disposal at our council rubbish site.
The weed membrane has been laid, and a thin layer of gravel dropped on top to keep the wind from lifting it. The rest will be added soon:
Soil still needs to be packed behind the edging stones to stop them falling over:
Then we can go and get plants that will thrive in a very light shady soil. I also hope to buy a particular crab apple tree that shouldn't get any taller than 3m.
Its wonderful DC that all your plans are now beginning to come together. It won't be long until you will be reaping the rewards for all your hard work.
ReplyDeleteWe just need to find a way to stop the borders falling onto the path but once that’s done, will enjoy planting it up.
DeleteThat's going to be a lovely big border once you get it planted up. We have a crab apple at the allotment ( it was there when we took over the plot). The blossom on it is always spectacular.
ReplyDeleteThey certainly seems to flower well. If I can get the one I would like, the apples are quite large.
DeleteYour garden is going to be beautiful. I hope you can find that apple tree.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Me too. It will have to be mail order I think.
DeleteThe weather has been amazing, maybe even a little too warm for gardening. It's all taking shape.
ReplyDeleteCertainly far too warm for working.
DeleteIt's going to be absolutely fantastic, isn't it?

Hopefully. Plants will get added next year as well to help hide the fence a bit.
