    So its almost been a year since we moved here and you can tell from the pics the garden wasn't in the best conditions when we moved in.
    I've had plenty of help from my Dad who is a keen gardener and I'm chuffed with how its coming along .
    Still plenty left to do and I'm enjoying every minute I get outside.
    Anyone have any suggestions on plant life ?

      Hi Lee,

      That's a nice blank space you've got. It looks nice and secluded and not overlooked.
      You seem to have a good mix of shady and sunny situations.
      What sort of things are you wanting to do or grow ?

          Why would it not be possible?

          Most things are possible :-)

          Most of my garden is flowers but i have a veg patch at the end. You can also grow veg in containers as well.

          Id like it right at the back of the garden but it is overlooked by trees and gets no sunlight at all up there ?!

          Hmmm you can grow some veg in partial shade but not much so leafy stuff like lettuce or kale would be fine and leafy greens but no roots.

          Altho depends how dark it is i guess

          Is pic 4 the after pic of 1,2 and 3 ?

          If so what about having your veggies between the two sections of trellis on the left hand side.

          Hi Anthony ,

          Yes it is , those trellises aren't in place yet but I've put them there to give me an idea where they could go and what it would look like , so there not definitely going there !!
          I'm interested in building a smallish pond at some point so I'd like the veggie patch right at the back of the garden I will put a better picture on a some point to give you an idea what it's like !
