Now that the building work is nearing completion it is time to turn our attention to rebuilding the garden. As suggested in another thread I intend to continue my blog to follow the progress of the restoration. If anyone is interested please have a look at Bill's Bits.Incidentally, I have also added a brief update to my veggieblog |

Like that bed idea drbill and the sunken pots is a neat trick too. Might have to do something similar on the garden side of my raised beds, have some snowdrops in pots that would be good.......Ooooooh you got me thinking now ;D The floor looks  toooooo |

Thanks for the update. Looking good, I like the area were you have the water feature it really is coming together and will look fab with the different levels. Love the arbour with the Camomile seat too. Hope you recycled that plastic trough ;D The new ones are fab, like the hay rack type ones the best ;D

I'm sorry you are having difficulty. I have tried and there doesn't seem to be any problem. If you still have problems you can see the pictures here |

I wish I had a garden to do up as lovely as yours Dr B! Can I ask a silly question? What's a herb seat then? That's just what we call it. It is basically a large planter (made from railway sleepers) planted up with chamomile, thyme and sage. The theory is that it provides a nice place to sit and smell the herbs. It was originally intended as a chamomile seat but we increased the range of herbs for more interest |

What a marvellous idea, a herb seat, and just the right height for harvesting a few leaves.
