Garden Project - Carpentry

My New Garden

I haven't updated my blog in such a long time :( and I have no real excuse :s

But I have been making various items for my new garden,


I'm not a carpenter as you can see and I had a budget of about £5
I found lots of bits of wood and stones lying around the garden, house and Yard. But I had to buy some nails and screws.

So this is what I have achieved so far:

I needed a partition so that I have 2 distinctive areas to my garden. I made this out of an old pallet and some wood I found in the shed.  I'm growing climbing rose bushes at the sides so they will go all over the arch and make it look pretty, (and hide my carpentry work).

The partition.

The areas of the garden are:

The kiddies play area, this area is quite large so I have added a small flower bed so the kiddies can grow some flowers (this means me of course).

The flower beds, plus young tree :)  I found some paving stones dotted around the garden and used these to create a border to the flower bed and a border to protect the tree base. I also had to re-seed the grass in this area so its a bit sparse at the moment, but this area is doing better then the actual garden lawn area :s

My baby tree :)

Getting there.

In my area there is a vegetable patch, herb planter, flower bed (well it will be) and the patio area.

This is the vegetable patch. Well.. one half of the patch anyway as the other half needs some work.

I needed a herb step planter, so I could reach my herbs easily. Couldn't afford one at £30 so I made one :D.  This lives near the back door :) I also painted the terracotta plant pots as they were a bit boring these were 50p each in the sales.

This is my next task, im planning on this area to be a lovely flower bed, with rose bushes and pansy's and tulips etc.... lots of colour.  I bought a lot of seed packets in the sales for 5p each packet (considering some were £2 a pack, was a bargain).

The messy flower bed to be.

Well thats what I have been doing for the past few months plus various bits in the house.
Its getting there slowly.
