    Hi

    I'm Gwen a new member. My back garden is South facing with a greenhouse. I'm interested in vegetable and flower gardening. My soil is mostly clay although it's under a foot of snow currently.
    For 2015 I intend to build a meadow of wild flowers and expanding the fruits that I grow.

      Thank you. It's taken 12 years to turn a wasteland into my garden but looks like with all the experience here I'll get a few more ideas.

        Thank you. Some days clay is great others not so much.

          Hi Ellen
          Always pleased to meet a fellow Scot even by degrees. I imagine gardening in Derbyshire is a bit warmer. What soil do you have and what do you grow?
