Loads of stuff, 2 rock gardens, some large bushes, roses and the like, climbing ivy type type plants, apple, pear, cherry trees, raspberry, gooseberry and tomatoes. No root vegetables as Mum in law has loads of them as well as a peppers, strawberries, plum, peaches, onions, garlic and stuff.

Plus the lawn which is looking good except for a few patches and a few weeds. Might put in a fish pond next year.

I'm trying to redo the driveway at the moment. It had a centre strip of small stones that looked terrible with no cloth under it, so weeds came up all time. So removing the small ones, laying down the cloth to prevent the weeds and topping it off with large stones I collect from the fields. They have tons of them in the fields and more fun collecting than buying. Did the same with the rock gardens.
