After a few requests from some readers for more photos of our garden I thought I would add an ongoing series that I would try and keep up to date every Saturday. I will try and show you what plants are doing well, those that aren’t and even some of the projects we are currently embarking upon.
Here’s the first instalment.

Let me know your thoughts and suggestions.
Read on if you’re after the transcript because you can’t see the slideshow.
