                Happy anniversary. Hope you both have many fruitful years together.

                And when your back stops aching,
                And your hands begin to harden.
                You will find yourself a partner,
                In the glory of the garden.

                  How lovely, creating a garden is also about creating memories and you've definitely got one to remember
                  Wishing lots of more lovely memories to come.

                      Still can't decide how to mulch it, I would normally use bark chippings but I seen a tree in a garden centre mulched with decorative stones a few weeks back and it looked quite good.

                      What do you guys use?

                        How about a layer of 'pea shingle' about 25mm deep & then pebbles/stones on top for decoration. Maybe pick up a big pebble or two each time you visit the seaside ?

                          A bag of 10mm or 20mm Gravel from H0meb4ase for about 3 squid, give it a wash & will look great when dried. Plus you'll have spare to throw at the piggins when they start nickin' your apples..............

                            Aquariums sell some different coloured stones/gravel. My mum uses white gravel in some of her pots,it has a nice clean look. There could be images online? White looks nice with the dark brown bark of the tree,but as your pots terracotta colour a colour from that colour palette might look nicer,earth colours like a red/brown maybe?

                              Just bear in mind you may need to take it out to wash it when it become algaed.
