Sore Back, Tight Neck and a Naked Garden!

Well, with the wonderful weather we had, it seemed silly to stay in and decorate so I made a start on the garden.

I got right into it and as a result I have dug over the whole garden and cleared my secret garden!!!

I am sore and I dont think that I shall be doing much more for a few days!

I intend to leave it a fortnight to see what grows back through and then chuck loads of grass seed down and see what happens.

Oh, and dig and make my 3 raised beds!!!

Cleared Space!!!

So I intended to cut the branches back on this tree but landed up cutting the whole thing down!!
It has really opened up the end of the garden and really given me the encouragement to take on this bad boy project!!!

The Long and Thin Garden

So here it is from various views.
You can see the longness and thinness of it, but I do have great plans!!
On Sunday I intended to trim the cherry tree back, noticed the tree behind and cut that tree down!
So here is the garden before anything happens.
I dragged the coldframe on to the paved area, so that is the mess at the end under the window!!

Hello Again!

Well, this has been quite a break as I have only gone and bought myself a flat, so I have been a little preoccupied for the last 6 months!!!

As a result, I have decided to hand back my allotment as I moved some distance away from it, and I also have a small garden with my flat.

It is a long thin garden, hidden under rubbish and knee high weeds at the moment!  Oh, and there are several large trees that are slowly taking over!

I am hoping to clear the way, get a few raised beds in and grown just enough veg for little old me!!!

This summer my plan is to get the garden clear and watch the sun patterns so that I can get the beds sorted for next year.

I shall take some photos this weekend and you can see what I am up against!

Whilst I shall miss my allotment, I have to say that it will be nice to have veg in my own garden and be able to waft about watering them without being too far away!!!!

So, a new adventure begins in the world of vegetable growing!!!!
