Just testing to see if I've got them right, if not, I'll delete this post!!

Okay, as the photo's are back where they should be, I've taken them off here as all the repeated photo's looked a bit much, so if you missed the earlier bit, you won't have the faintest idea what I am talking about!!!!!
 :lol:  :lol:

Waaaaahaaaayyyyy

Got most of them, but it says some of them have been deleted or moved.  Did you move some to another album FF???

It looks lovely, what a lot of hard work you've done!

Who were you in a previous life then????   Glad you've come back to us anyway!   :D

Thank you for helping me
I was hazelanne before but forgot my password
We started the garden easter 2007.We got a digger in through our kind neighbours fence.You can see the hole boarded up at the back of the garden.We then took it out again through the neighbours garden at the side.That is where all the balast and sleepers etc came in from.We have lovely neighbours and swap produce etc on trading posts around the garden to each other.
The pictures of the garden so far dont really do it justice as it really is great.
We just have to finish round the pond and then do the lower level where we are going to build a pergola and have the bbq area,and outside the kitchen we are building a home for chickens.
We spend every minute of free time in the garden.
Alot of the plants we have bought cheap because they were in a bad way or have been given them.Everything seems to grow so well in the garden.

The only thing is when we have finished it what do we do!I guess theres always something to get up too.
We have no more space for plants as the ones we have are getting very big.
Cant wait to get the chickens that will be fun and if we let them out they will probably enjoy tearing up the garden!!

If it was my garden, I would just sit back and enjoy looking at it!  Oh and sit and watch the chickens of course!!!  :D :D :D

You've worked really hard, and its a credit to you.  You should see ours, looks worse now than it did 6 years ago when we moved in!!!!

Now I've got most of your pics up, do you want me to delete the ones that are not showing?  to make it look a bit neater???  Then I can transfer them back to your original post instead of under my name!!!

Fantastic garden Fruitfull. So much effort, but what a result  :D

Like Annie, we've managed to reduce our garden to a wasteland  :?

But we will build it back up again once time and funds allow. I want to see photos of that pond. It looks seriously deep and is just crying out for a nice lilly in the middle :D

if you need to sort the pics please do as i have made a mess of them.
We do have piccies of the pond so far so i will get them sorted and have another go at posting them.
Also we are getting a grape vine on wednesday which is very old and distressed so will take pics of that and then we can see how it comes along.Cant wait to get it and release it from its pot to spread and breath.
