The Front Garden

Well, my biggest 'work in progress' at the moment is the front garden.

Just to remind you, it started out like this:

I tried to make it semi-respectable:

And now Martin has put in all my paths.

And here's the view from above, now that I've dug it over.

Next, to plant the topiary...

I couldn't resist starting to clear the overgrown front garden, even though I knew it might get trampled later, and this is the result.

 It's looking a bit different now that we've had scaffolding put up and lots of to-ing and fro-ing, but it was fun to find some rosebushes and plant a few violas to cheer it up.  I was too late to enjoy the daffodils. but they will be back in the spring, I'm sure.

I can't believe I forgot to post some photos of the garden - I'm hoping to have some fun designing a small walled garden at the back of the house, and planting some topiary at the front.  However, that is all a long way off, so to start with are the photos taken not long after the house became mine.
