Hi Nigel, and thank you all for the lovely warm welcome.
Its lovely to find like minded people, unfortunately my family aren't gardeners and I've had to learn from trial and error with more errors . We bought our house because of the size of the garden and the sheds and greenhouse that came with it but had a lot to do to clear the weeds and rubbish. Nothing did very well in the greenhouse this year but next year I'm planning to have a go at vegetables and salad crops so will need all the help and advice I can get
After a mini makeover this is part of the garden (in the summer). Still have lots to do and have some slopes and things to deal with with and some privacy issues but the OH bought me the RHS Complete Manual and I have some plans for the spring
Aslivert......your pond is beautiful. I'm SO envious Your waterfall is to die for. Bye the way, has your mermaid got a friend who would like to lounge around by my pond?!
I really am looking forward to more pictures next year, roll on the spring, only 12 weeks to March!
Hello everybody........ I have often read the pages this site. I am not a beginner gardener but nowhere near a expert one.I Have an allotment and have in the past thoroughtly enjoyed working the ground but this yesr with all the rain and the plague of snails in the potatoe area (all were useless for cooking). No blight but the awful snigs!! I just got so fed up that I haven't been down to do any work for about 2 months. Has anyone else felt like this. I await with bated breath for a reply.
Thankyou kindly lady. I am going to root out my suncream! What do I do with my plot in the meantime. Should I leave it until the new year, which is my ideal, or are there any suggestions.
I go out and do a bit of tree/bush surgery in winter otherwise I leave it alone. I'd get compacted wet soil, I'd walk on the bulbs as they come through and get I'd cold.
I do go out every day and look around; see what buds are swelling, if the snowdrops are through (they are), feed the birds, paddle in the flooded parts of the garden. But that will do.

Think I might go and see if the snowdrops are through in the garden, but then on the other hand I might just leave it until tomorrow!!
