Hidden shed by phil_howcroft

Hidden shed

Struggling to play catchup with my images and comments and struggling to get any decent photos now that the weather has turned rather wet !

I showed you a few shots of the lavender and weather vane near my shed and this is the closest I've got to you seeing my shed.

Shot from my back door looking left (it's raining btw), the shed is hidden by a trellis covered in honeysuckle on the left hand side of the frame behind the birdbath.

Thinks you might find of interest in the shot ..tumbling tomatoes hanging in baskets on the trellis...tumbling tomatoes on an old table at the end of the grass ...pink and red geraniums in various tubs ... two lavender bushes in blue containers (£3-99 each from Lidl , awaiting planting) ...washing pole (that ruby and I run around when she's having a mad few minutes) ...decking at top of garden to catch late evening sun when it has gone from the patio area (pond to left of decking out of shot)...lots of steps to climb up the hill.....wooden seat built into wall (needs replacing as some of it going a bit rotten)......olive bush in brown planter beside wall.

So there you go, struggling for a shot , but manages to write an essay !!

What a fantastic garden you have Phil, you should have entered it in the Best Garden section in our show !!!! I love all the steps & your stone walls & tiered beds! Then there is the illusive shed !!! Still hidden but a little bit closer... perhaps next time the door ? You have a clock too !

Is this your yard?? Gorgeous!!!!! I can tell you all put a lot of effort into it and you must adore working out there. I'm loving the patio as well. :) When's the party for your 365 friends?

That looks really smart Phil and that has to be the best camouflaged shed ever! I had a pal called two sheds John. He was a mad keen runner and his wife hated it. Once he ran a marathon and got home and she had a list of chores for him to do! In one of his sheds, he had hidden a camp bed and disappeared inside for some shut eye and I don't blame him! How harsh can you be - demanding messages of someone who has just run 26.2 miles!!

@happypat thanks for your kind comments Pat, glad you think it is up to 'best garden' section in your fine show :) , yes there is a garden clock, in fact I have two !!! there is another on the fence half way up the garden...there's also a digital thermometer that broadcasts the time , temp, humidty etc. to a indoor clock ...so just like my three watering cans ..I have three clocks !!!
