My garden has been through a lot of metamorphoses since we moved here nearly 18 years ago. It started off block paved with flower borders, After a few years, when the kids were older and did not need the playing space, I took up the central flags to create a planting area, then put in a water feature in the centre, and then decided to dig out the centre area and create a pond. The pond had been there for nearly ten years but as the garden needs to be child safe again, I am in the process of filling in the centre area to create a planting area again. Watch this space !!!There is not a published plan for this garden yet.

Biggest gardening frustrations

The gardening project I am currently working on
Filling in the pond now, having moved 2 ton of top soil to fill it so another few pounds lost! Its virtually finished, just need to reset some paving slabs around it where a particularly virulent weed keeps coming through the gap between! I also need to
