No such thing as a finished garden if you're a gardener and not someone who wants an outside room they just need to "dust and vac" to keep neat. There are always new plants you want to try, new features, changes to planting, a bit more lawn to nick and plant up, walls to cover, pots to fill and so on, not to mention changes of taste and budget as you mature.

Don't ever want my garden to be finished so all I have to do is cut the grass (can't call it lawn) . I enjoy messing about, moving stuff, dividing stuff and putting new stuff in. Don't even like having to tidy up after a day's gardening, feel if I leave things around it means I will be back the following day to carry on.
Qualified with a quick addition of the raised bed in Spring Cb. You're as bad as the rest of us...just in denial. Congrats on getting married btw. Always nice to have another opinion in the garden
How does that happen PS2? I cleared my path round the pond totally and completely. Well done me! Next day I went out and there was a weed (or maybe even a bunch) 2 feet high. How could I miss that?
You know what you need? A milk crate! looks like it's "a tool" for holding things or standing on, when actually it's just a seat in disguise!
Right there with you. I've lost my B****y green thing. I had to use the old broken one yesterday. Have you noticed how you always find the thing you were looking for the time before?
Very skewed indeed. Maybe I'm just weed blind!! Fine by me! I've had my milk crates forrrr eeeveeerrrrrr. It was a top tip by a very old plasterer when I was a young pup! I use them for everything. Keep an eye out for them at skips and recycle places. they're still out there.
I'm not buying another green thing B3. It was horribly expensive. £2.47 I believe. Anyway it'll turn up next time the secateurs/loppers/string/gloves go missing!
My garden will never be finished. Every year I see new seeds, bulbs, plants that I must have and so some that aren't performing well or I have becom bored of just have to make way. Also the lawn is becoming gradually smaller

I've got a bright orange bucket for my tools so I can't ignore it or lose it

Only after you've bought another one!

Why do they make garden tools in camouflage colours? Is it so that we lose them and buy more?
I'm getting a sense that it's becoming very widespread indeed. I've seen it on more than one thread. Should we worry?
