There's colour everywhere!
This blog is a record of the plants, flowers and trees growing in my garden. We moved to our house five years ago and I spent a year recording what was growing in the garden, and until this year I have added a few plants but essentially just maintained what was already there, until now...
Today is the first day of autumn
It's also my birthday, but that's not what this blog is about. So what did I do today? It was a rare occasion where I had the house to myself, so I spent the day in my garden. Firstly I set up my compost bin (I also have a green cone, but I set that up a few weeks ago), which until a few weeks ago had leaf mulch in it, then spent the rest of the day cutting things back and filling it!!

January 2011
It is now 2011 and i have identified what plants are in the garden. It is now time to make some decisions about what will stay and what will go. The left hand side is well established so all i need to do is tidy it up and put a straight edge along the lawn. The right hand side is a different matter, alot of it will be removed and the path will possibly be taken up, although that may have to wait until next year, so this year will be all about removing the grass and weeds that have grown up between the gaps. The only job i have done in the garden so far is cut back some of the brambles.
