That back garden needs transforming as it bare and ugly.

We are in the process of employing a gardener ....just to do the heavy stuff ...like digging and weeding ....and mowing lawns ....it’s too much for Mr B now ....so he can just sit back and enjoy it ...and potter if he’s up to it 

Have you got a well established garden?

Better qualified !!!

There are plenty of town's brimming with gold medal winners, try Shrewsbury

Yes , we’ve been here for nearly 30 years .....from a new build .....we aren’t good gardeners  by any means .....but we do keep it tidy ....and colourful ....but at the moment it’s one of those worries we could do without ....but we still want to enjoy it , so .....

that is one, big, ugly wall.

For me, the whole point of a garden is the enjoyment. As much colour as possible. 

Won’t get much for 1k these days

Sounds like you could do with a visit from Monty Don.

Yes , we certainly could have at the start 

This sounds like a good idea, make that wall green - but have flowering greenery.

Our soil is heavy clay ....but our back and side garden are basically south facing .....so we have sun most of the day ....whereas the front only gets sun from late afternoon onwards 

I don't like the big white van towering over the garden.

That's easy for him to say. 

I’ve got polyanthus and pansies in my tubs and hanging baskets  at the  front .....and loads of daffs , tulips and hyacinths in the ones at the back ....

A peanut is not a nut, it's a legume. 

I like Edamame beans
