Before:

After:

All my azaleas, camellias and a beautiful magnolia gone.

2mtr high wall came down like a pack of cards and a 40ft high Ash tree from next door arrived shortly afterwards. Also lost my pergola on the other side of the garden with a jasmine and clematis attached.

30 years growing ruined. Still, nobody was hurt thankfully.

Hey, just 3 types of regular moss I gathered. Because they don't have roots they don't need soil mounted below. So they survive on a mesh frame nicely.

Finished my little wall garden.
Added a LED strip and solar pannels to run them for something a little nicer to look out our window into other than a bland brick wall

That's a great idea. I have a back wall that could do with livening up. I would never of thought of something like that!

Painted the sleepers last week I think. 2 coats. Did a good bit of weeding last week, bought 6 or so lupin's. Sheds painted, 2 coats. Lawns done. And spread 23 bags of bark that I got in Aldi. There's a little patch bare, but I have to do a job down there on the ivy.

That's a stunning poppy. I think it might be Perry's White. I have the boring pink one. Must keep a look out for that.

Awh thanks. They're a bit mad but plenty of colour! It's about two or two and a half years since we did the paving and borders.
