The cyclamen are all self sown ones from around the garden. The ants here do not seem to take the seeds away from the corms so if I do not remove the babies they just grow on top of the old. For some reason I have not been doing very well sowing the seeds myself. Now, if I remember, I just tend to scatter them around where I am trying to make a cyclamen meadow.
Planted another 20 or so yesterday. Still got about 30 in the frames. Running out of garden space for them, so I might take them down to the Plant swap in the Park.

Two different people came and took as much of the Oak and Monkey puzzle logs as they wanted. Most of it has gone now. Big empty space looming.

Decking swept and 'hoovered' with garden Vac.

Looking the other way ...

Wall needs attention but it will have to wait until the spring ...

One cold frame placed on concrete bricks (to save my back)
The other one to be placed somewhere soon ...

You have been very busy Eli with your garden! 👏👏 Your garden looks great with the new decking! You will be able to spend more time outside without the danger of falling over. You will also have a bigger space to put out more pots so the garden will be easier to manage! It looks very good indeed!

Oh Wow Eli !!! That is looking fantastic, what a super area you've created. It really has transformed it. It certainly seems to have passed Bella's inspection!!

That's a great idea placing the coldframe up on the blocks the whole area will be much more manageable and a very pleasant place to work, relax and maybe even paint/ draw in now.

Brilliant job ,well done.xx
