My garden.

[TRUREL]

Well this is my garden.

The tree with the bird feeder is an apple tree at the back is an enormous white flowering cherry.

On the bank (which the kids love to run up and down) are a combination of Daffs and snowdrops.

At the top of the bank are a variety of green bushes and flowering bushes.

I will post the pic once I have shrunk it a bit.

Hi,

The Apple tree was a bit manky when we moved in but I cut it back and it has turned our really nice ever since.

The rhubarb is mostly in my tummy.

It is great stuff though and has grown back again.

I'll take a picture wait a mo.

Bosch Rotak 34" (I just changed the blade at the start of the season as they were selling it half price over the winter). I checked Which and it had the highest reviews of the non petrol ones.

I used to have a push mower but that was hard work and didn't pick up leaves.

Oh and I had a Flymo which I threw away. It was so rubbish.

Masha Allah your garden is amazing :), it's really well kept! Did you plant everything in it (sans trees)?

LOL I dunno about really well kept. It's a bit of a jungle really.

Most of the plants are beggged or borrowed from neighbours who always seem to be doing things with their gardens. I got a 3' Japanese Acer from one last year which seemed to die away on me moving it but has grown back.

Lots of the Bushes are actually in tubs because neighbours have had them on patios or front doors and didn't want them any more. I didn't know whtehr they would take to the soil so I planted the tubs.

The bulbs were bought in a bag from a local nursery after somebody (on another forum) talked a lot about how they just bought a load of bulbs.

Actually there were originally a lot more bulbs but the dratted squirrels kept digging them up.

A couple of roses were from my Great Grandfathers garden.

The snowdrops are from my dad's.


And yes the trees were there when I got there but were very wild.
