The Flower Garden!

When we arrived here, the Veg Garden was a steep slope and completely impractical. I even found Elaine having to lie on her side to weed it!

So we decided to convert it to a more practical space, that we could use as a flower garden. So in rolled my son Paul on a borrowed digger. His only brief was..

Go from here the left hand side gap, to the right, but keep it roughly level, and save the topsoil.

It took him 3 days, but the results are great!




It's now a nice lazy and safe walk to the top, where there is a viewpoint bench, and you can have a lovely morning coffee or breakfast on the patio en route, and all the beds have their topsoil back.

And when weeding the stones are put on the nearest path to gradually replace the bark.

Last year we planted grasses and a couple of striking trees, as recommended by gardener Luke, a good friend.

We managed to grow enough flowers for our daughters' wedding last year, and even considering setting up a flower selling business until my illness.

So it is now a most useful and useable space.

End!
