    Hi,

    My names Alan and I live in Central Scotland, started tidying up the garden in April last year and really enjoyed it. Only have a small front and back garden which is handy as also have a small budget, back garden is mostly gravel & slabs for the dog so we have hanging baskets & pots. Managed to fit in a very small greenhouse and turned the shed into a kind of summer house (not fancy). Front garden was trees and shrubs, cut most right back as the other half wanted some colour. Planted too much in there I think but just waiting to see what comes up this year. Never done any gardening before so I will probably have a hundred questions, especially if nothing grows :) Thanks for reading.
