My mother's garden made the August issue of The English Garden. Sandwiched between Sissinghurst and Great Dixter. It's rare that they ever include Scottish Gardens. Go the Phantom Digger! In her mid seventies now she started gardening in earnest ten years ago.

Could be free, thinking of using the Pool Hoose for Warmshowers hosting. Not as pervy as it sounds. 😯

Nice garden there, mine's full of cat sh!t at the moment so unless there's an award for the sh!ttiest garden then i'm out.
Plus one of my prized Koi was found floating lifless in my pond this afternoon, not a good day.

They included this one, possibly the first woodshed to appear in a garden magazine.

Can you get wood out of there or is just for show?

That woodshed took ages to stack neatly, if anyone uses anything out of it McMoonter's Sharia Law is enforced and I cut off your hands with a chainsaw.

Gorgeous garden, wouldn't expect anything less from Chez Mcmoonter. 🙂

You really should have slipped the bike into a corner though for extra intrigue.

The green house is an epic project. My riding buddy Murr from this Parish and I spent time last summer replacing a section that collapsed under the weight of snow the previous winter.
