Does anyone know anything about gardening?

So the transformation from huge ugly Laurel hedge to useable sun trap is almost complete.

turned out nice!

noice. what paint did you use on your fence ? not sure whether to paint ours

Planted some wildflowers in this section and finishing painting the fence this week + tidying compost area.
Just need the re-seeded grass to all come through and we’re there

Stump remains as a kinda bug hotel. Armoured cable gets attached back to fence once painted.

cheers!

@cozey Sandtex 10 year exterior satin - I shouldve bought a sprayer but did it with a brush bc was worried about over spray into neighbours house.

Those sprayers are useless and you need to supplement with a brush anyway in my experience. I think you were right not to bother.

Tempting but I don't think I'm ready to be woken up by fox versus pygmy goat fights.

Train your pet fox to eat the grass, then.

Our other pond iris made a grand entrance today.

@Tenderloin nice, just in time for some sun lounging.

I've woken up this morning and have been blessed with the emergence of the first two poppy flowers. The plants are about 2 foot I reckon. Look quite nice for something self seeded.

They look fab. Free plants are the best!

Need to get some poppies for next year!!

Been away and come back to the meadow in bloom

Self-seeded sweetpeas going for it here

Incredible! My very carefully raised ones are not quite out yet

Oh envious! That's a gorgeous display. The time I tried sweet peas they just gave up about 1 foot off the ground, never flowered. I feel inspired to try again by yours.

More self seeded poppies today

Brilliant, your garden is getting better year by year.

This Acer is over 6ft and it's probably my favourite thing in the garden.

Gooseberries and what I now think is raspberries underneath.
