Gardens!

[newstuart]

Come on then folks lets see some garden pics for inspiration (espically if you have incorperated any tech in there!)

Your not alone though, I havent touched my system for the last few months as have been busy with the garden, still a work in progress but so far we have gone from this,



To this,







I even managed to tie in a little home automation with a sensor on the back gate that (When it is dark) turns on some led lights sunk in the deck leading a path to back door of the house and then turns on the downstairs lights,the outside lights fade back down over the next 10 minutes.

next job persuade the wife to let me get some rock speakers and add them to zone 2 on the living room amp

Will take a while though as just decorated my sons bedroom and need to create a nursery in the next 3 months!!!!

Very good! Your garden's about the same size as mine and I wouldn't want any bigger as I'd be on my knees in agony. Just laying a patio outside the extension has required me digging out 6tonnes of earth to bring it down to the right level. Nice touch with the automation though

LOL. I've looked at that photo a few times and always thought, 'he must just have a giant bird feeder as a novelty garden ornament', as if that was a natural thing to have.

But now I look at it again

The joy of fixed focal length lens' on mobiles eh.
