Each day the lawn gets a little greener, but it's still got quite a way to go before you could call it 'luxuriant' in most places.
To help you imagine how it will look in the end, here are my design sketches of the north view:
The grasses, shrubs and trees on the left and the beech columns are all there - but somewhat smaller than drawn; the pond and bog garden are as yet just holes in the ground.
And the terrace:
Several clematis are now planted as well as the wisteria, but we haven't quite achieved the welding of
the obelisks yet, so they have some poles to comfort them in the short
term.
Yesterday Alan completed the blockwork for the greenhouse foundation, and we assembled the sides and ends. There's probably another day's worth of work to complete it, which needs a non-gliding, non-pouring-with-rain-or-blowing-a-gale day so probably not over bank holiday weekend...
