Hello on a frosty Easter morning

Hi, I am reintroducing myself as haven't been on the site for about 5 years! I live in the South East and have recently moved in to a house with a lovely garden that, apart from lawn-mowing, seems to have been neglected for a good few years so I am trying to bring it back to life. It is east-facing, about 85 feet long and the soil seems to be quite heavy - maybe London clay? The huge amounts of rain we have had over the last few months have made the ground pretty sodden and muddy. So far we have had some large trees cut back and a couple of huge Leylandii taken out to get some more light and space into the garden. Looking next at pruning/removing some old overgrown (and some sickly) shrubs and creating a vegetable patch. Wish me luck

 

Good morning SazG,
to Gardeners Corner. Sound like you have quite a decent sized garden and lots of scope to get it how you want it to look. Plenty of ideas and advice here, have a wander round. Others will be up soon to say hallo,

SazG Welcome (back) to GC Sounds like you have got off to a good start by cutting back to let light in.

I garden on heavy clay too and yes, this soggy Autumn/Winter has left the ground in a right old state for working on. Still rather that than the caked hard rock it turns to in the summer.

We are picture hungry creatures here at GC, so any time you fancy posting a picture ...

Good luck

 

Welcome back to GC SazG Enjoy.......
