While Baz worked on the paving all day today (and has finished it although he says his back is broken), I potted up some bits and pieces. I bought annuals and summer bulbs at our local garden centre. Great fun !!
At the far end of the garden (hmphhhh - where is the far end ? A few feet away !!!) here is the checkerboard effect I want. I am planning on growing veg here and there in the spaces. It doesn't look much now - but wait till I'm finished ! I've been researching growing veg and flowers together - and in small spaces. This just might work, but I won't know until I try it. In the corner, I plan on sowing sunflower seeds - giant sunflowers. Just to cheer us up.
Of course, there is still so much work to do. I bought bags and bags of compost. The soil is awful, so compacted. I can't wait to get stuck into it and add the compost. First though, Baz has to cement between the paving slabs. He'll get to that some time this week.
