The new raised circle is almost completed (notice M'spouse busy working), when it is I'll be able to transfer the turf from the waiting bed (to the right of the new steps) up into the circle and then get on with planting out grasses and late flowering herbaceous plants to finish off the autumn colouring.
I've also nearly completed digging over the bed above the pond, where the summerhouse is going to be sited, this was the first area we planted in the garden, but it got neglected and grass soon infested it, so its really pleasing to get it dug over.
I'm just waiting for some more of the bog garden plants to start shooting in the herbaceous gardens so I can transplant them into the boggy area around the pond, hopefully I won't have to buy anything it is already here.

The woodland walk is progressing well, this area is the newly cleared area, in last months photo it was still covered in dense trees. This next area has many uprooted trees, the conifers don't seem to send a tap root down and so are very shallow rooted and I think a combination of winds and high water has brought these down, so there is still loads of clearing to do. The newly exposed bank with some bluebells already established, I'm going to transplant some native foxgloves from another part of the woods into the banks, I also found a large colony of wood anemones which I'm very pleased about.

The herbaceous borders are still being tackled. They've been rather neglected for the last year or two, so need dividing, pruning and weeding well, so progress is slow. The hellebore beds are looking stunning and have increased in size enormously, there are lots of seedlings I need to collect and grow on in the woodland gardens at the back....
