I have finally got a new patio outside my :D /our shed on our :wink: allotment. It is fabulous now there is no chance of my OH slipping on the wet, sloping grass and falling and ending up in hospital with a bruised spleen, which happened last year. I have only been waiting 11 years, (I am such a patient person :lol: :lol: He has built a wooden border so I have planted some sweet peas and this weekend I will put a netting up to support them. Ohh I am so happy.

Hi Catherine. Lol, yes patience is a virtue, pleased you have your patio, enjoy it, have you got the barbeque to go with it yet? :D I have been practising patience for years too!

Enjoy your new patio, and don't forget to buy a sun/rain umbrella for it as well! Everything comes to he (or she !!) who waits.

Or you could get a pop-up gazebo. We have one that just fits on our plot patio between the shed and greenhouse.

My OH is going to put up four posts and fit one of those willow screens over the top to just give us a bit of sun protection. On one side we are growing some sweet peas up a trellis. I think it will end up looking quite nice :D .

I used to work under an umbrella sowing seeds and transplanting stuff, which I always found okay.

Thought i would just interupt your girly chatter. :wink: :)

Cook doesn't dare mention things she wants doing anymore, as i'm a (NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT) type of a fellow. :)

I always remember when she worked at the Co.op, she mentioned it would be nice to have a pond, when she returned from work, there was a 15x7foot hole in the back garden. :)

I really don't know how she puts up with me, sometimes.
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

I like a man that is (no time like the present).OH :D Mine used to be like that but over the years he is getting to be a (when I get round to it) Cause he is really busy doing other things (working, fencing, weeding, working) So though I have had a shed, polytunnel, 8 raised beds, drainage, fencing, rabbit fencing, etc etc., the patio remained a long time coming. Even when he slipped on the wet grass and hit his ribs on the bench, and ended up in hospital over night with a bruised spleen, it did not get done. I really will have to attempt to put a picture on this site. My OH is very busy with work now he is an agricultural engineer, so things will go quiet till the back end. :roll: I am in charge of the seed sowing and planting, except for the carrots which he insists on sowing and has done for the last 8 years. :lol:
