The Garden

I am now beginning to realise that this garden will never ever be finished! As fast as I do one part the rest unravels, blimey, why did I buy a house with such a big garden? The raised beds along the edge are coming along nicely, coming to life with bulbs, but the rest of the plants have struggled with the cold weather, we shall see.

The new potting shed is looking good, but of course I forgot to water the plants over the winter and they are not looking good, in fact they are very very dead. But the shed looks good! It's also full already of stuff I don't need.


Now the vegetable patch is half done, the sleepers are done and the soil is in. I ended up with injections in my wrists after moving 3 tons of soil last year so I am taking it easier this year! Planning to sort out the area between the beds and cover it with gravel and log slabs. If I can get that done this year I will be happy. Making the small beds into a herb garden and a salad garden, then an asparagus bed, and two veg plots. Should keep me out of mischief. Here are pictures how it is today.

The little black thing in the bottom of the picture is a sonic cat scarer off ebay. I bought it because next door had a new kitten who thought my veg patch was a nice large litter tray, grrrrrrrrr. Sadly I heard today he was run over on the busy main road so my gadget is redundant for now.

Anyway I will post later in the year and show the progress.
