It’s green – it must be grass!

Green here also!

..and from here!

At least the Veggie patch isn’t…any more!

So only the fences to be painted and it should be finished next week – final photos to follow.

So Oliver and chaps have started with great deal of vigour and plant clearing skills. After the first two days we were left with a distinct lack of greenery and a great deal of footballs.

…and the other corner of the garden now has…….A DIGGER !!!

Use me!

Dear Happy campers,

Autumn is normally when Gardeners look into the garden to prepare for Winter, for us non-gardeners it is slightly different.

For many months over the last couple of years we have looked out into our garden going “Christ O’Mighty – what an overgrown mess!” and shutting the patio door rather quickly and running off to the TV room.

Veggie Patch not!

As the photographs detail we are not wrong, we presently have a garden which houses a great deal, plants, trees, many footballs from next door and a sun dial, but the question is always ‘Just where are they!’.

So something needed to be done.

Me and the Missus pondered this question over many evenings over a great deal of wine – erm nothing new there!, I here you say, but finally we managed to organise for a brave (if mis-guided) gardener to tackle both the front and back of Leonard towers.

The front’s a mess too!

His brief was ‘simples’. Take the crappy overgrown plants/stones/weeds/triffids out, plant a nice patio with a matching path and provide some green type grass stuff to go in the middle.

My lemon tree

As I write this Oliver and this ‘crack’ team of green-fingered chaps are tackling this task, with mucho gusto, spades and a nice little digger!.

Updates to follow over the next week or so to show you their progress – but as the sun shining I’m off to ask nicely if I can have a go on the digger. Cheers!
