So, the next job is putting up another wall to the folly.
between the lychgate and the folly arched opening, we are going to build another wall with a window.
In the photo above we have already cut the hedge that was forming the current 'wall' lower while we discussed what to do. One of the issues here was that the planting either side of the path to the lychgate, at this moment, was slowly getting overgrown making it harder to walk the path without having to avoid branches etc.
Paul's dug out all the roots of the old hedge this morning, now the temperature is more like a normal English summer.
Next will be deciding on the line of the wall and digging out for the foundation, then laying it.
naturally we now have to shred the old hedge to be recycled, but it's good to be moving onto the next stage for the folly and shady area.
Even by Dee and Paul standards, you are working so hard on the garden this year. It is truly amazing how quickly you make the transformations. Don't forget to sit and enjoy the fruits of your labour after a hard day's work.
ReplyDeleteThis is true, we are on a bit of a mission this year! Luckily the pond garden is right by the folly, so we are enjoying it well
