In reply to Ruta M.. Nice to know that we can one day have a garden that might resemble yours. At the moment it still looks a bit bare, brown and well sad! I'm looking forward to planning the planting for the new bed. JT

In reply to Rachel Cotterill. Our landscaper has just requested you hop on a plan Rachel, he is sick of digging the trench!

Is there anything you are NOT doing?! I mean seriously, you cook, work, maintain a beautiful house, walk and look after doggies – not to mention chores. And then you blog too! You are amazing. The wall looks good so far – nice to see end product!! xx

Looking good 🙂 I probably would try to DIY it, I’ll DIY anything (within reason!) but then I enjoy digging/building more than the more delicate bits of gardening!

Clay, retaining walls, rain washing things away – this all has a familiar ring. We had a blockwork retaining wall in the garden fall down one night but the insurance wouldn’t pay up for it to be fixed as they said it hadn’t been built properly , (not by us). Those were the blocks I reused to make an edge along the drive last autumn and I’m happy to say that the grasses I planted are all growing well and will soon cover those unsighly blocks. Great work by your workmen. Can’t wait to see the finished result. Most of the local farmers have a hole borer attchment for their tractors but any fence posts we’ve put in were dug by hand.
