The conifer in the middle has already booked an appointment with the tree surgeons when they come to trim the Leylandii hedge ( an inherited feature) beyond which is the veggie patch.

Loosing the conifer should give you more space wont it? Pity you cant loose the leylandii as well. ;)

Like the mini greenhouse. I have two of these, very useful arent they?

Post by: Ragged Robin on January 09, 2004, 17:16:35: Well I think I' ve got it sussed , thanks Teresa and Mysticmog, next time I'll try bigger pics!!!!

Richard, I think you were the only one who got my Ist attempt; I actually don't mind the leylandii, they're cut to expose space underneath which I use as storage for things in pots as provides some protection. I also have my ccoldframe in their lea. Littl'un also uses the area as a playground. Blackbirds regularly use them as a nesting area and they divide the garden neatly into recreation and veggie. They also mean no one can see me working at the top and less interuptions.

..... oh and they mean I get visits from my tree surgeons,who are great fun, let me help and are pleasing on the eye.......
...........I think they might stay..... (the trees not the boys, on the other hand, ::) )
