    The back garden is a bit like Dr Who's tradis, there are three raised beds, two borders, a small lawn and seating area.

    It was a tad bit neglected last year. Was going to keep the borders and one raised bed but make it narrower and increase the size of the lawn.

    Didn't' get alot done today though as it rained.

    Aldi and Asda  fruit trees are usually available in October. I'm happy to be wrong but think you may have missed them.

    B&Q have fruit trees in at present for £15. Nursery's are more expensive.

    Did some potting up today, lettuce, Pak Choi and hardy annual flowers. When can these be planted out!

    I've early peas and broad beans ready to go...

    What do chicken pellets do exactly, and are they generally good for all plants?

    Aldi have got tubs of chicken pellets for £5.99 and Wilkinsons for £5.
