Welcome Fred. I wish you luck, I'm sure it will all be lovely. I hope there is some good soil there if the previous owner used to be a keen gardener. Keep us posted.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Thanks everyone, the soil if it can be called that is very, very sandy. Great for digging over in any weather but low in nutrients obviously so every winter i add bags of compost ( i steer clear of manure for weed reasons) I took some photos yesterday of the few flowers on show at the moment
By the way my name is actually Derek, somehow i ended up as a Fred
Thanks Bev, I think my head is getting bigger, you're always so nice about my garden! It is a lot of work though, so it's great when people say nice things.

My favorite before the wind & rain got to it.

Cosy inside 2 weeks ago, off to greenhouse ASAP & to new homes.
Make do & mend. The secret that came from the garage last weekend. Better than 3 upturned pots and old piece of pallet.
Some nice photos of members gardens here. I do like noseying at others gardens to get ideas.
