      Hi Shaun, and welcome to GC - loads of expert advice here and some friendly banter too !!

      The herb & veg patch looks good, but cover the tomatoes with some fleece or old newspapers etc., tonignt as there could be a frost.

      Please keep in contact and ask advice or guidance whenever you wish.

          Hi Shaun welcome to the funny farm. Keep your mint in a separate container or it will take over EVERYTHING!

          Evening. Welcome:)

          I like what you've done so far. I especially like the planted up barbie grill. Looks good.

            Welcome Shaun.
            Listen to Catztail's wise words and, whatever else, DON'T plant Mint in your garden.

            You've obviously got imagination, as shown by your intial efforts. I look forward to what you try when you brave up and tackle the garden.
            Just enjoy yourself in the garden - whatever you have a go at.
