Changes To The Garden - polytunnel pics

It's been a long time in this garden, nearly fifteen years and in that time it's been transformed, albeit slowly, from old bloke's wrecking yard to herbaceous beauty. Well I think so anyhow. We must have dug out hundreds of stones, rocks, metal objet d'army and car parts. The old tea roses stuck around a square of grass have been replaced by a willow, alchemilla, David Austin roses, tree peonies, standard peonies, choisya, oriental poppies, hellebores and much more. The other side was hard standing for a tatty caravan. Both went and the new soil provided a superb start for what are now mature trees, shrubs and plants. It is only now as I sit back and admire the verdant growth pitched against the indigo blue of the ceanothus that the years of backbreaking work bear fruit. I feel smug. But not for long, because beyond the paradise is "the Somme", formerly badly laid or very old hard standing, ripped up to make way for a new polytunnel and gravel area. This is where I intend to put my permanent raised beds, be they wooden or brick built. Hopefully it will not take another twelve years to see this come to fruition, but I know in the end it will be worth it...life already has taught me this much.
