    Would just like to say hi to everyone. I have a medium sized, south facing garden that's been a work in progress for 13 years! When I moved here, thoughtful pals gave me various plants & cuttings, & so without much planning regards what position suited the plants I quickly dug borders to accommodate them. Over time some shrubs got unruly & were too closely planted! Just discovered only this year I have alkaline soil. Agonising about how to use some of the space, so really looking forward to getting advice and tips from the forum. Will try upload pics when have worked out how! Bye for now.[emoji4]

      Probably means your browser isn't seeing the smileys, nothing sinister :)

      I never hear warnings not to cut trees/hedgerows in nesting season - I'm going to email RSPB ...
