I just wish I had more time to do all things I want to do in the Garden and have endless amounts of cash to throw at it. It's a 100 feet long and Branch's out in a v-shape from the house and is 47 feet wide at top of the garden. I had a Conservatory built onto the back of the house and this makes a great place to view the garden from. I can see about 85% of the garden from my chair at my computer, which means I can browse the internet and gaze into the garden from time to time. Take a look at the photo's I have taken from my chair and look at the others that are in more close up detail. You will see that it's mostly laid to lawn, but incorperates two ponds, (one with a water fall and short stream), Dotted around the garden is a couple of trees and smaller plants and small bushes here and there. There's a couple of shed's sited at the very top-end of the garden. Hope you like itArmine John Hutt's garden plan

Biggest gardening accomplishments
I would at first say, "Cutting the grass", but I would say that planting stuff is an accomplishment. I've put in a willow, a Laburnum, and one tree that I don't know what it is. Along with a Conifer and a few smallish bushes, we have plenty of potted plants and flowers to tend too. Time is the thing we're talking about here, as we both work full-time and have two Springer Spaniels to walk, we don't get as much time as we would like to attend to the garden. I have also built two ponds in the garden. One is a Wildlife Pond and the other is a half sunken and much larger than the other, Koi Pond. I have some large Koi with one of them being 24" long. These along with their pond take some looking after. Then there's the wildlife pond that I try and leave alone, but it does need attending to now and then. All the fish in both of the ponds get fed at least twice a day.
