and yesterday I got given a lovely climbing rose, which I will be growing up the side of our new fence next to our veggie patch.

Going to plant that later today Open-mouthed smile It’s all coming along nicely, which is very exciting considering the garden used to look like this when we moved in…

Can't wait to do some planting in my flower bed...still a little too chilly...soon, very soon!

Niki, love seeing all the progress you are making on your garden. You can always paint or stencil those paving stones to add some bright spots of whimsy in your garden :-) Looking forward to seeing tha rose in bloom.

Great post! You've done a lot of work transforming this area to a garden! I love Braeburn apples and crab apple jelly. The Parade climbing rose will be a real standout.
