Really neat young DJ - an absolute credit.  The garden seat is a let down.  Did you not think of making one out of pallets and then applying some sort of white wash?  Like this?

I can say I've ever thought of doing that.

My garden project is picking up a bit of pace. Area is cleared completely now, new fence is built and stained, and next is to re-stain the original fences before arranging decking and turf to be laid.

Then there's the shambles of the back garden, full of shite including snail farms, bug hotels and over 40 plantpots.

Last summer we cleaned it up and got it looking nice enough. Copied the neighbours and bought a load of solar lights but the party lights didn't last long and I pulled them down a few months later.

Decided to get some Decking in for this summer and got a good deal with SJS in Camelon who came out and installed this (I'm Shite with DIY). I ran power to the shed and bought some proper party lights and put in these LED floodlights which were less than £20 each, comes with a remote to change the colour. Threw up a 17ft flagpole at the back of the garden and put our flag up.

The party lights were bright as f**k so had to go out the next day and buy a dimmer.

Should I roll out turf or sew seeds? 

Chips or Bark?

Whatever you do regarding the grass make sure it is perfectly level going down because mine is all bumps and holes. While it looks good enough it annoys me I never spent more time getting it level before throwing the seeds down.

I have done some raised beds with walkways down to get to the stuff. and on the opposite side of that diagonal path i did like a mirror image of raised beds.
Its just scaffolding boards that were past their best so ive no idea how long they will last.

3 1/4 years later I finally put some plants in to my raised beds!
Still a bit to do but good progress4d979e92fbb57eccfceb3aa9aea4fc61.jpge78ddfc26762ef485d122a363fc69f3c.jpgea6f4e8911a9b50558d7b7de813e64fb.jpg361f5a50ef4eb58ca59d785722a0c726.jpg
Tried to grow spuds last year but they didn't turn out great. Now I have a cracking one growing out of a wheelbarrow full of garden sweepings and Moss that left sitting.

It won't die. just keep it watered. It will grow again next year. Plants can dry out easily in pots. Put it in the ground if you like.
Can't really see what's going on with the heads. Are they bud that haven't opened yet or have there been flowers on it that have finished.
