Well bugger me....

I've now done two days worth of work in the garden and I don't think there's a single muscle that doesn't hurt in my body 

You don't need to spend shedloads on a gym membership....Just get out the fork, spade and wheel barrow 

Although it's now gone from this....



To something like this....











I really hate fooking Ivy and other climbing plants  The state of the fence panels due to that crap growing through them and on them is unbelievable! What do you reckon our chances are of getting the landlord to renew them all? 

What you can't see in those pics are the huge flowering plant things that were growing in the bottom left of the garden...Rotax has already put them through the chipper so I've got some nice bark chippings to fork into the soil 

We've got rid of two trailer loads of crap that were in the garage from the previous occupants, we ended up putting all that behind the garage so we could get our bikes in there and Rotax's shyte belongings 

I think we're doing ok to say that I started doing all this yesterday on a whim 

Can't wait til it's all bloody finished though

Welcome to this weeks edition of Gardners world. 

[bikerchick82]

Sorry...

I forgot to mention that all this has started because of a party we're having on Sunday for a few mates who are then going to do a track day at Silverstone on Monday 

There you go...it's now got a biking twist.....Better?

[rotax81]

well done diggerchick... you didn't have to show everyone the pic of me pushing the 6r though 

[bikerchick82]

Could have been worse.....

Someone has parked a green 06 ZX10R on the path in the last pic 

[Andy J]

is that a new kwacker there? well there was the wheelbarrow so a lawnmower could be a logical step............ 

looks like you've done a cracking job there 

[bikerchick82]

It's not finished yet 

Tomorrow will see me down the garden centre buying plants 

Bollox....I've turned into me Mum 

[Andy J]

plant buying can be expensive, just rob 'em from next door 


here's my jardin, have to confess that I like pottering about in it and it's taken me a long time to get it like this but there's loads to do yet   

[bikerchick82]

Tell me that you're free this weekend? 

 

(Actually, don't tell anyone but I'm actually quite enjoying it, there's a certain sense of satisfaction that comes from taking one overgrown tip and replacing it with something resembling a proper garden  )

[Andy J]

it's just the right size and was a mess when I moved in ahem 8 years ago    so I thought I'd fill the bottom bit with sheds for no reason    my dream is to replace theose with one big fekker and have a pool table down there    but we'll see 

it's relaxing to potter around in the garden and there's always something to do like just changing stuff for the hell of it and we've got a brook running under the lower bit that exits to the left, weird eh ? but does sound nice and relaxing sort of thing . Even sorted the greenhouse (no comments PSG) and have some Tommy Artoes going for it in there

It takes time to get a garden nice and once it's done it's worth every minute, well I think so 

we get Badgers coming in the evenings too and they dig it sometimes but that's life and they were here before me and a bloody mole now and then but he ain't made it to the top bit so far thankfully 

[bikerchick82]

I'd welcome a mole or two as long as they dug the flowerbeds for me 

I've never had a decent garden before so this is me enjoying the novelty of it all for a few months 

Mind you, when I sent my Mum an email last night and I found myself telling her about my Dephiniums that I'm going to be sowing in one corner of the garden, I had to give myself a mental slap 

I can't wait until there's some colour in the garden so I can sit here on my PC and look out the French doors and actually enjoy the view 

I'm even coaxing the couple of weedy looking trees we've got to stop growing upwards and start growing outwards 

Plus the over grown rose bushes have been trimmed right down to the ground and there's some nice new growth showing and I even got four rose buds showing  Only downside is the bloody flowers are PINK!!! 

I love it when I look round and see new shoots and buds appearing.....

I reckon there's no hope for me now 

Hmmmm wonder what he'd say to a water feature 

[mc101]

Looking good their BC and AndyJ

I'm also found of playing in the garden for hours on end when the sun comes out!  Cant beat it in my mind.  Also the dog loves it and it beats sitting in doors !  Mine hadn't been touched in about 10 years when I moved it -- took nearly 2 years just to make it look respectable - cut hedges etc.

Looking much better but still a very long way to go !!

it's theraputic in my book and nowt wrong with pink flowers    (well I do get the occassional piss take about pink wheels on here  )  so before anyone else jumps onboard I thought I'd get that in 

soem say that gardens are boring but not for me, I like 'em these days, must be my age 

[mrwippy]

Are they your white Y fronts on the washing line OLD man

wow, you are really stoking the fire there, i think everyone had temporarily forgotten about the pink thing so i guess you will be sitting in the garden with your pink flowers with a pink sunset wearing your pink wellies with daisies on them (coloured pink i am sure) drinking a hogarden rose (pink beer) polishing your pink one ...
