It has been mega hard work but we think worth it. Low maintenance was the aim.

Looks lovely. Easy to maintain, but will be full of colour once the bedding plants are in.

Is that the carpark to Oulton behind your fence? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Wish it was Brid. It's the site car park and offices. They are just in the process of shifting it as our phase is very close to completion.
Shirley got a lot of plants yesterday and some are arriving from a garden centre we visited at the weekend so some colour will be in and around in a few days.
We are chuffed with it as we wanted minimal maintenance and i think we have achieved it.
Now to the front garden :'-( :tdn:

It's very tidy and smart. It's nice to have a garden. Somewhere to sit out when the weather's warm and just good to have some space around you. Show us some more pictures when you get the planting done. That will finish it properly. :tup:

Tell her to crack on with it. :) I'm waiting to see what you've chosen. Remember not to get any water on the leaves if she's planting in sunshine. It makes scorch marks on them if it's too hot. I water the planting holes if I have to plant on a hot day and then go back to water again once the shade moves onto them.

I've not come across that one before. I'll need a picture, please. I'd like to know what it is. Mrs Bob will need a large gin after all that effort. Looking better already :)
