A promise of things to come..

We've had quite a few reasonable days over the last week, so we've managed to get on a bit more. I've started laying the turf cut by the turf-cutter, but as some has been rolled for quite some time now it has started to go yellow, I'm sure with a week or so of light it will recover in time for summer! With the chainsaw down we have got a bit behind and with it being the school holidays, have not been able to spend as much time as we'd have liked working...but we can't have everything...




I seem to have been digging for ever in these beds and moving turf around to fill up gaps. The idea was to make a long winding path around the beds, rather that being able to walk around them, this was because nobody knew which ones to go down and it ended up that you missed half the garden, hopefully this will sort it out, once you start you can't get out until the end.....I'll probably have to end up putting stepping stones across flower beds to let people escape..



I've been most impressed this year with the hellebores in the front garden, some of them have had about 100 flowers on, and they have made this area really colourful. The grass seems to be recovering from being dug up and moved in the front garden, the stone on the lawn is the one from the hole, we finally got it out with much difficulty and laughter.
I've started filling in this new area with some existing plants and a couple I've got from my bargin corner selection, a lot of the original plants in the borders need splitting anyway so its a chance to change things around.
