This is the view of the back garden when we first went to view the property.
Overgrown with brambles and bindweed, the couple of shrubs were choked with bindweed and the tree at the back had bindweed at least 10ft into the tree.
The hut at the bottom of the garden the door was off and the floor was rotting away, we could not get round the back of the hut because of all the brambles blocking the entry to the back.
The view down the left hand side of the garden
The view down the right hand side.
The palm like a lot last winter was killed off.
After i cleared near it, we found a new shoot from the base.
When we took the hut down i used some of the wood to make a section of fence, the white door on the left hand side of the pic is where part of the fence was missing at the back of the hut.
The greenhouse was re-erected where Brenda wanted it, i know whats good for me so no argument on its siting from me.
When we cleared the right hand corner at the bottom of the garden, under all the bindweed and brambles we discovered two small Pieris one is called Debutante o idea what the other is called.
Pieris Japonica, Debutante.
This i think is also a Pieris
I think the next project after connecting the electric to the greenhouse will be making the paths when Brenda decides where they are going.
Then i cannot see a lot more of the garden been done until spring time.

Nice to see the cordyline has a new shoot and the Pieris look healthy plants. 
I'm pleased to hear Brenda is keeping you under control and making sure you have everything in the right place, I don't know how you men would cope without us
