Hope in the hills, of it ever being finished ?

Better late than never, the grass has suddenly started to green up and grow. The hyacinths are in full bloom and have grown very tall this year, and have survived outside ok for 3 years now. The two new areas have been planted, but it still looks very sparse at present, I'm sure in the course of the year I will be able to fill these beds to overflowing..
Movement in the dining area too. After buying a pergola 5 years ago (It was a bargain, so I had to have it.) We have finally managed to start putting it up. We've had to replace some of the screws with bolts because Met-posts are notoriously difficult to put in straight, but using the bolts everything seems to be squaring up ok.




In the back garden the circle area is finally finished !!! The new chainsaw seemed more up to the job than the previous one. The daffodils all seem to have transplanted ok and are in full flower. I have planted some foxgloves around the lower edges of the circle, which hopefully will look quite dramatic when they flower. I've also filled in the higher edge of the circle, so we have 3 levels, which makes quite a difference. M'spouse has made a bench that is within the retaining logs, but isn't quite finished so will post a picture when it is.



A have a few Magnolia's just about to flower, and was very pleased to find that one of my £1 bargains could in fact be 'Leonard Messel', one I've wanted for a while, 2 others that I got un-named as bargains are going to flower this year too. I'm slowly progressing with the digging out of beds, my arms are groaning with the sheer amount of digging and wheel barrowing, but it is getting their, trouble is the front garden is being neglected so I need to spend some time in there too.
