The clocks have sprung forward and the garden is calling.

There is a quirky website with a page entitled ‘The Ambiguity of Fences‘, the author invites people to send him pictures of fences – love it!

I have a fence that is plastic (yuck!), so I won’t be submitting the pics to add to his collection. It was put up by the builder in the late 1970s, and it will soon be replaced by some espalier pear trees.

The golden privet is staying this end but the rest of the trees are going. Whilst the trees are being removed, I needed a place to put some of the plants I want to keep.

 

 

 

 

And a 1.8m Veg Trug, on special offer at the local garden centre seems like a brilliant solution

But would it fit in my car, and how was I going to manage it when I got it home. My car is titchy but it is amazing what one can get in it

 

 

 

 

 

 

And a wheel barrow is a wonderful thing for manoeuvring all sorts of heavy awkward things around. I put the H frames together

And then used various bits and pieces to prop the pieces up and get the screws in. It’s very empowering to put things together, that at first seem to need more than one pair of hands

Over 50 screws and 6 bolts later Ta dah!

And I could save my lavender cuttings, irises, sweet cicely, ajuga, polyanthus, a couple of foxgloves, aquilegia, violets and a hellebore

So now we are all ready for the digger and the sunshine :-).
