Welcome!
We have been in our new lovely home for 6 months now.
The garden is my baby. We have always rented and now, finally, I have a patch to call my very own.
I want to keep a track of how the garden develops over the months and years to come.
It is a relatively small garden, measuring around 40ft x 20ft. Its mostly lawn, and we intend to keep it this way as our children are still young.
The boarders around the lawn are mostly empty, except for a few trees and bushes.
I have now planted many bulbs and seeds since we arrived and look very forward to seeing them greet us in the spring and summer next year.
I have also removed several trees and shrubs to make way for a small pond, which I plan to finish next year to encourage more wildlife to the garden. In addition to this, my children and I have made a "hedgehog house" (top picture) behind a large Maple tree, complete with links to the neighbour's gardens.
My plan for this Autumn is to get a small patch ready for vegetable growing next year.
It is currently in between a Blossom tree (with a Campsis Radicans next to that) and my small greenhouse.
In the middle of the two modest plots, I plan to put a small compost barrel/bin.
The patches are only about 3ft x 3ft but should be enough for a few basic veggies to get me started.
More to come before I'm forced out the garden by the weather!
