Can't go on holiday, so DIY on garden

[shaunwistow]

Well our 17 days in Portugal isn't going to happen. So fed up of our rear garden as it's a pain to cut the grass. It's not big enough to do much with it & a bloody pain on the edges.

So project started

Smash up more slate & fill area
Bark chippings on path
Water feature
Then just planting up pots with flowers & grasses etc

Looks good Shaun. Very Zen. A few nice Japanese maples and Azaleas would look great with your cracking looking bonsai.

I did something similar with my garden this year. Holiday to Majorca was cancelled so built a raised bed. Turned out pretty well but not as big a job as yours.

Lovely job Shaun; time well spent and should be relatively maintenance free - always good! I should be purchasing rail tickets for my planned circumnavigation of India now (have to purchase them 3 months in advance) - ain't going to happen; not even sure if it will happen for the 21/22 season.
