… and the new gate and fencing at the side rear has been done ...
It’s a difficult area to work with as the bank is a lot steeper than it looks and has a camber A huge rambling rose had to be cut back hard to install the Reed fence panel, which left a gaping hole in the boundary fence and hedge too, so a short term solution is the Reed screen, by the time it’s worn out the Laurel will be much bigger. It looks distressingly small in this picture, but is in fact larger than it appears. I am rubbish at photography!
We have been debating a triangular trellis atop the fence panel, doubt will no doubt kick the idea back and forth for some time until the right solution is found.
There is still plenty of work to do, like painting it all, which begun this afternoon when there was not a cloud in the sky, but has been halted by patches of spitting rain. Isn’t it always the way?
An unknown animal has already damaged the corner of the Reed, and so we have had to come up with a solution to stop it from creating a bigger hole … honestly, it could have just gone around and behind the screening rather than create a somewhat cartoonish hole in it. We clearly need to have a chat.
This morning a few plants hopped in the car from the Nursery at Horam, some for this area, vegetables for some of the raised beds and a nice tray of container plants for outside the front door, it more on that over the next few updates, one in particular is really exciting.
For the rest of the week it is more weeding elsewhere in the garden and ground preparation in this area before the planting can begin.

PS: Supplier of fencing, posts and gate was Tate Fencing and installation was down by eldest kid and my darling Husband. The kid despatched a good amount of old tree roots, and the most god awful grass in vast numbers that just spreads everywhere, I am not going to dignify it with a botanical name, as it most definitely does not deserve one.
