    Hi All
    Our garden is in Greater Manchester
    I am a trial and error gardener meandering through life with no plan!
    My husband is the builder of all the structure and I act as labourer and planter!
    The garden has evolved rather than been planned!
    We garden under a mature tree canopy on a south facing plot.
    The plot is on a hillside backing onto an old sand quarry. This means the garden comprises of a sand hill and clay spots with rich loamy soil in between! Levels all over the place.
    I will upload photos shortly
    We grow fruit and flowers and attempt veg! All with mixed success!
    I enjoy gardening but am not a structured, confident or competitive gardener. I am genuinely amazed when whatever we are working on comes together or grows!

              Hallo Adendoll,
              that's just what gardening is though; the joys of success and the odd frustrating failure - best forgotten.
              Welcome to Gardeners Corner, lots of great people here to share experiences with,

                    If only it was the odd failure Jenny - I feel like I am armwrestling mother nature at times :wallbanging:!:)

                    We spend too much time trying to beat Mother Nature at her own game I think. Still, it's very satisfying when you can win!! One of the gardeners here has been eating red ripe tomatoes for the last week or two - grown in the green house under lights and extra warmth. In normal conditions, they would be nowhere near ready yet,
                    Jenny

                    BTW
                    Not talking acres of garden here! Just a corner terrace plot on the edge of a ex sand quarry which has now been developed!
                    Most of the mature trees that border us are Ash and Sycamore - all under TPOs!
                    Just don't want to build up any expectations! :snork:

                    Goodness, sounds fantastic - somebody really dedicated and skilled!
                    My battles are more of the basics - Slugs, horsetail, bindweed, squirrels woodpigeons vine weevil to name but a few!

                      One of the great things about Gardener's Corner is that we have members with just Balconies, some with just Yards, some with tiny gardens, some with medium sized gardens and some with over an acre.......and we all learn from each other:snork:. The one thing that binds us all together is our love of gardening and plants, Oh, and some friendship, generosity, and a sense of humour!!:heehee:
