    Hello Everyone. I've been gardening in the same remote garden in the Fens for the past 37 years but there's always still a lot to learn. Soil good (I’m on a silt/loam fen rather than peat fen) but long Summer droughts are more common now. Enjoy growing any veg that I get to eat before some other critter eats them first. Recently retired so starting to revamp all the flower borders. Lots of roses and Clematis. I live with a one-eyed cat called Blossom and my husband.

      Welcome to GC Chrisso
      You've joined the right forum.
      Your cat has one eye.. Poor puss. Our Bob keeps shoving his face into various plants and i dread him hurting his eyes.
      We keep telling him but he's not interested.

            @JR He looks so cosy there in front of the fire. Blossom lost her eye just before before we got her as a rescue cat 11 years ago. She loves the garden and still sometimes scuttles up and down trees but most often likes to curl up asleep. Thank you for the friendly welcome! blossom climbing.JPG
