This is the view that I had of my back garden before I had some work done.

 

This is the same view now.

 

Cor...just think what you can grow in those beds

 

In the beds on the right hand side of the picture I have planted garlic and onion sets. The left hand side bed now has fruit bushes and strawberries planted in it. The other beds will have potatoes in them. I am trying to do all my gardening by the phases of the moon. There may be nothing in it but it can't hurt. I'll be sowing carrots, beetroot, celery, lettuce, leeks, and anything else that I want in the nearest right hand side bed in what I call the square foot method. I also intend to interplant the onions with crops that will be protected to some extent by the onions, carrots for example. So much to do when the warmer weather comes. There will be tomatoes in the glass house and peppers and chillies in the wooden shed/greenhouse. In the retaining wall on the North side I will be planting herbs. I the pots in front of the compost bins I have fruit trees. I hope that I will be self sufficient in the fruit and vegetables. on the gravel by the lonely camellia I intend to have pots in which I will start off flowers before transferring them to the front garden. I have tulips coming on there at the moment.
