        :sign0016:Always nice to welcome another new member - You will get some great ideas from other members in GC. Enjoy!

        I didn't have the space for growing veg so erected 2 veg boxes - great fun! I've got spinach growing at the moment plus herbs and rhubarb. Must admit I am more of a flower person but it's great to try something new. Good luck and look forward to seeing some pics!

            Picture of Garden as promised! Sorry it is from last summer but it will give the idea of terrain!
            The stone level is Fruit Trees Apples and Cherry. The second level is Currants . Third some more Currants blueberries and Figs. The ground levels at the top and there is a green house and veg beds.
            I grow trees in barrels on the patio.
            The mature trees that surround the garden are not ours and are under a TPO.
            The cracked willow at the top suffered storm damage so we cut it right back to regenerate it and keep it more manageable (it was enormous!)
            All the pots are herbs and salads. There is more garden to the right of the photo with flower beds and a shed!
            Appreciate it looks a bit wild here - not as bad in the flesh but still wild lol!View attachment 32077

              Welcome to GC Adendoll. Your garden doesn't look wild - I think it's lovely what you've done, you've really made the most of what you've got.

                Thanks lost_in_france, It has evolved over time! The stone wall at the bottom was built by my husband - we dug up all the stone used for it from the garden! Originally the garden was at the patio level with a steep incline down to it! So we didn't really use the top bit! Now at least we can access it!
