    Just taken over the garden from my late husband. We're on the gault clay belt, excellent for making pots, not so good for gardening! Lot of work to do on it, as my husband could only do the minimum for last few years, and didn't want to let me loose on it.

    Mostly bushes, but I plan to use some flower seeds that he never got round to planting.
