Hello from Hertford- and here's the new garden!

Just a quick hello from me

Having spent the last 5 years renting flats in London, I'm super excited to have just moved to an Actual House with an Actual Garden in Hertford.

It's my first 'own' garden so I can't wait to get cracking. The wendy house went with the previous owners, but we're hoping to pop a greenhouse opposite the shed and make the borders a bit deeper and a bit more shapely! The house itself is a victorian cottage, so we'll be aiming for a cottage garden. Just been choosing some fruit trees tonight :D

Thanks in advance for your advice and wisdom! This forum seems like such a huge wealth of knowledge, I can't wait to get asking stupid questions

welcome - I am newish here too and know nothing about gardening. this is our first garden too but be thankful yours is in nice order to start with - I am digging out boulders (literally), roots and general jungle like areas. look forward to seeing yours develop into what you want.

 

Hello there and Welcome.

 

Thanks everyone

Shiney, I had a look at the thread you posted the link to- your garden is breathtaking!! I love all the aquilegia everywhere.. do they really all flower different colours and varieties, just from self-seeding? And are they long-lived in the garden? I've never planted these before, but I'm definitely going to! Any recommendations?

I'd definitely love to come to your open day, I'll wait to hear more

I've just bought my fruit trees- conference pear, victoria plum, cherry summer sun and apple newton wonder. So I'll have to frantically start preparing the garden for their arrival quite soon!
