My first attempt at ‘woodworking’ made out of a couple of old pallets.

Picked this up in a charity shop today. Can anyone tell me what it is?

Don’t think I’m getting the right suggestions from Claude. Can anyone help me identify this plant with the variated leaves? Seen in Yorkshire, UK.

Took us 2 days to paint and strip the stairs. Still a work in progress but very happy with it!

EDIT - a few people asking for the paint colour it’s a sample colour available in B&Q called ‘Hot Cider’ they made it up for us in their premium valspar paint.

I’m a new gardener and it’s a work in progress. Working on it so far has been one of the best adult summers I’ve had 😊

Hello folks, my wife and I have spent the past few months working on our first garden. It’s a fairly mature garden that was overgrown when we moved in. We have done a lot of pruning things back and we removed a huge spreading overgrown bamboo which freed up some space for us to create a bed of our own. We planted some hibiscus, senecio, black lace, lavender and a few heucheras. It was great to be able to put our own stamp on the place.

We are currently trying to help the patch of lawn with lawn seed.

Any suggestions on other quick wins or things we can do to improve? We want to keep the swamp/hobbit hole vibe but would like to add a bit more of a Jurassic twist where we can.

Thank you folks. As suggested I painted it a medium oak and planted two different types of star jasmine in a planter. Went for a Star Wars Jasmine and a Toscana.

When the fence finally goes we’ll replant the jasmine elsewhere.

This fence belongs to the neighbour, it’s in our patio area that leads onto the garden. What can we do to cover it? A trellis over the whole thing? Is there anything we can do quickly?
