    I'm bonkers, of course.  Welcome to the madhouse.

    Plenty of room for fruit and veg there.  You don't want too much of that pretty stuff you can't eat.

    wish there was a site like this when i first started gardening many years ago then maybe I wouldn't have wasted lots of money on plants that were not suited to the situation, its lovely to get advice and ideas.I wish you well , by the way I'm new to computers so please forgive any mistakes I'm what they call a silver surfer, good luck

    Hi Michael N, you have a lot of potential with your garden, flat and not exposed. Looks like the neighbours are nice, one has a greenhouse and the other a bird feederimage You have children so that to some degree will govern what you grow, games of footie on lawn? Nothing with thorns, spikes ?

    I'd be wanting a greenhouse and a vegetable bed image

    Hi Michael and Marg image and welcome image  

    I'm relatively sensible compared with some -  if they're good I'll bake a cake - if I'm not out in the garden laying on the grass staring into my pond image

    That garden looks full of potential and doesn't have anything awful to dig out or get rid of from the looks of things.

    What sort of things would you like in your garden?


    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Hi all I've posted a couple of times but am new too!  I've dabbled before at my last house but now I have a wreck of a house to renovate which came with a big garden.  I've been out there in all weather every weekend last year and this and, Michael, I think everyone will agree that once you get going, gardening is addictive.  It's also good for the soul

    Sorry it wouldn't let me finish the post so got cut off before the end.  Anyway, looking forward to getting to 'know' you all.
