Welcome to our blog. It will follow the development of our garden from quagmire, after completion of our self-build, to a garden that reflects our eco-friendly principles. We are wanting to create a garden that meets our needs as a family but is also a wildlife friendly zone. Well that's what we are hoping, time will tell if we are successful.

Garden update

 I can't believe that it's been nearly a year since I wrote in this blog. We have done quite a lot in the garden during this time.

At the end of last year, we had the deck area laid, it was great, just a little bit too cold to sit out.


We also had help with seeding the garden, it doesn't look up to much in this photo but it soon greened up!




Meanwhile, over last winter, we made some raised beds out of left over construction wood so that this spring I could start attempting to grow a few vegetables.

The tension wire fence has been great for starting the espalier fruit trees that I hope will eventually make a living fence in the different garden zones.

The pond area is looking more established this year but is still very green. On reflection, I could have sited it further away from the trees.

The overall garden is really starting to take shape now. I like this photo because everything is lovely and green and you can't see the weeds!
