Wow Emma, you have a beautiful garden, you must have worked hard to get it so lovely . And you must be enjoying the garden in this lovely weather and lock down.

It is worth putting the work in and the decking area with the hammock, pergola and arbour is maintenance free really but the lawn and enclosure area isn’t! I’m quite glad the garden centres are closed so I don’t have to worry about my hanging baskets at the moment. I have been out today cutting back and tidying up. I’ve been doing a little each day so I don’t risk my back and find that works well. A couple of productive hours rather than a whole afternoon seems to be the right amount of time. The weather was perfect for it but then it got quite hot. My eldest popped in to collect his old numberplates as he was picking up his new truck and so wanted to be able to get his personalised plates on straightaway, so we did some social distancing and he kept over 2m away while I sat on the little bridge we have by the front door. I got way too hot pretty quickly and left him to it! I hope you and your family are all well? x

Its beautiful Emma, love how your enclosures just blend into the garden. That's my hubby's moan... Looking at "lots of mess/ junk! In the garden. Yours seems so organised x

ahhhh yes grapes and doggies really don't mix at all and they are a bit of hard work once the grapes come out to pick them all otherwise they grow and drop all over the place - good point Emma. stick to other flowers - mine are chomping on the campanula that is growing mad this year overflowing the pot so they are keeping it back - the amount of campanula plants I have lost over the years planting them in the ground is probably tens of - I wonder if I can take cuttings for the pots now. You have such a lovely feng shui garden CB

That was me just allowing it to happen but the garden can get overgrown so I have to keep an eye on it. Just spent all weekend tidying it up actually.

It is a relaxing garden. It isn’t intentionally feng shui but it does have a few buddhas and wind chimes and so on.
