Back Area 

The poly tunnel/greenhouse has Strawberry's , tomatoes and Dwarf french Beans it it and looking good.

The greenhouse has still to be completed but finally decided where to place it.

I'm waiting for the hay bales to be dropped off for the raised veg border and can't wait to start growing in it.

Willow planters from Aldi £10.00 each. 

Dwarf green beans in £1.00 buckets from B&Q 

Hose system finally sorted no more dragging the same pipe around the garden areas.

Green house site.

More waiting to go in.

NO DIG ABUNDANCE

I was doing a bit of filming today, the weather's not too good but managed to get footage of two Roe Deer

just at the back of the garden about 300 meters away,I've posted a short clip.

Withie Owl

I started the withie Owl sculpture for the garden. I'm using willow withies. I've started off with the basic Owl shape then added more canes to build up in 3D 

The Owl is 3ft tall and will be outlined with solar fairy lights at night,the picture below shows where the Owl will be situated.

Starting to look like an Owl

Ready for the fairy lights

All light up

Standing Stones

I have a standing stone in the wildlife/pond area of the garden, it's not a Pictish standing stone but it has been around for a while.

I have a friend who has a real  Pictish Standing stone in her garden which is maintained by the National Trust for Scotland and dates from the 9th century.

Glamis Manse stone or stone 2 Glamis.
