Well done ;D

Did you have to level the garden?  that must've been seriously hard work.

Am jealous of your fabbie net cages - what did you use for the supports?

SMP1704, yip mate, had to turn the high right side, over to the low left side.  the OH built a low retaining wall made out of pinched pallets, not been treated or nowt, so i hope the whole thing don't collapse anytime soon !!  good thing about clay is that it compacts reasonably well and by the time the wall does rot, the soil should be pretty solid.   :P

the white frame is made out of recycled gazebo (which was only ever erected once before i decided that the wind would have it away before i could blink), someone else on here posted the pic of his one, but can't remember who now  :'( and the green one is reclaimed walk-in greenhouse frame/joints, that again the wind got to and wrecked. 

the gazebo "mosquito" netting was cut up and made into covers for three of the beds, and i still have one spare, so it wasn't a totally wasted exercise buying the thing !  the m-i-l provided the plastic ties from her work  :P and the green netting ws just cheap old stuff off e-bay.  the pigeons haven't started using it as a trampoline - YET !

i really fancy an awning and have the pooters outside for that one day in june that it will be warm enough weedbusta !!!  ideally i want to knock out the lounge window and just be able to walk out rather than from round the side.  i don't think i'm quite up to that yet though.   ::)
