So many plants!

Lots has happened in the month and a half since my last post.

We've cornered the local garden centre market and bought all their stock which the garden has completely devoured. Everything is pretty much in now and we're onto sowing annuals and planting out veges that have been grown from seed inside - I've even been given special permission to publish an action shot of the lady in charge of it all - she must be pleased!

Meanwhile I've been busy with the construction projects in and around the garden. I've built the pergola for which I managed to source some green oak at a reasonable price so it looks wonderful in its natural finish, and I roped in Mr Tomlinson to help me install some armored cable and a timer circuit for the new driveway lights. Now you can leave our house at night without the fun of possibly hitting a tree.

I'm in the process of sourcing a supplier for the iron railings, so they'll be next to go on, then its hopefully light duties with only one thing left to do.

BBQ!

P.S. If anyone sees any rain, can you send it our way? Whilst I find watering duty quite relaxing, I think I may have hit the "watering wall"!
