Hi I'm new.

Welcome to GC Clarie. Sounds like the gardening bug (excuse the pun) has got a grip on you already. Enjoy it!

 

Thank you everyone for your replies, I'll have a look at those apps and also at adding my location to my name on the left as most of you have got. I think it's all very exciting watching and nurturing these plants to grow and now I can read about other adventures and tell you about mine too - brill

 

I will have a go at putting photos on tomorrow. My garden faces East and is split in half by a Weeping willow, the soil the further away from the house is clay but seems less clay but still not sand the closer to the house. The bottom of the garden was very boggy (the lawn too) so we have dug down and replaced an old 1930s land drain that was leaking as well as adding a sump - this really has helped the ground even with the wt weather we've had.

 

Hi and welcome aboard its great here, an absolute gold mine of knowledge Im sure all of your gardening questions will be answered

 

Now it's light here are some pictures





I love my garden but my photography isn't great - probably why I have joined a gardening forum not a photography one (I'd put a smiley here but I've lost them since moving to the app, no IT forums for me either!)

Clairie, what a lovely sized "canvas" you have there,
looks like you have some secluded areas too - to retreat to, when the world gets all too much.
What do you want to do with your garden?

 

Welcome to GC Clarie. Gardening is VERY addictive but in a GOOD way.

Welcome to Gardeners Corner, Claire

I don't do apps, but I *do* have the same tendancy to go out to pick a weed and the next thing I know, my family's tummy thinks their throat has been cut

 

Hi everyone, thanks for replying.

Jenny Namaste, we don't really know what we want to do yet. I'd like to section off in front of the greenhouse and have behind as a fruit and vegetable garden. I did fancy a white picket fence but now I'm liking the idea of a low box hedge that's offset so we can walk through.

As for the rest I want to keep the Weeping Willow as I love it and I want to watch for a year just maintaining while we see what the garden does.

We are very keen on getting wildlife into the garden especially birds, bees and butterflys.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Clarie
