IT'S THE TIME OF YEAR TO CHANGE THINGS

 So during winter if the weather is not too bad, its a good time to do a few landscape type jobs, while the plants are sleeping.

We had an Akebia growing on the trellis behind the stone pot which made a nice green backdrop

but it was getting too big and rampant.

So late last year we removed all the growth and cleared the area.

Although we could have left the trellis open and waited for the plant to regrow if we don't 

remove the root completely.

However we decided we did not want to see through into the folly.

So we have put up a fence to hide the folly and make a backdrop to end of the cloisters.

The trellis was added to the folly side of the fence panel. Which left this small return of trellis in the corner , seen from the Lychgate. We decided to fence this too,  to hide the large water butt on the workshop and tidy that area up.

Deciding to do this allowed us to straighten up the corner by adding another fence post. Paul also

had to buy the wood to make up the fence panel which was an odd side. This is the panel fixed in place.

So the folly side now matched the panel with trellis we put in about a year ago .

So one job down and who knows how many more to do, it's a garden so never ending !
