The area immediately in front of the gate and wall was just a bodged semi path, the gate opened (in our opinion) the wrong way, and as the main route for wheel barrows into the back garden, it was a bit of a pain in the neck.
After removing some of the conifers etc last year, we made use of the space for a few veg as a temporary measure
Since then it has been a bit of a building site, although we have been busy turning it into a more proper veg plot and installing a turf path up to the gate without a slalom course for the wheelbarrow.
But now, thanks to a belated Christmas Present 'Busman's holiday', Husbands son has turned the gate around and given us a wonderful hard standing area in the gateway and along the wall.
A quick coat for the gate - an how's that for a transformation? All with stuff we had saved from our predecessors landscaping efforts - and a bit of windbreak for the beans, donated by the local farrier!
What a transformation! Sorry not to comment before, it's taken Blogger three days to let me see all the pictures ... sigh.
ReplyDeleteHostas looking good {giggle}.
PS: excellent and creative use of those shaped slabs from the missile silo.
