Hi from Wrexham

Hello and welcome.

 

to GC @Rob Lloyd

Love your pond and how it's evolving "wood/perspex" = cold frame?

It's in your favour that you have been there almost a year before asking advice. You've been able to see which bulbs/plants are already in the garden and can plan round those (or not if you prefer ).

Some of the things I wish I'd known *after* I'd moved to my current home but *before* I joined GC.

Have you allocated a spot for a compost bin? If not, make one - it has proved invaluable in my garden! (I did this first thing in this garden, pre-GC)

Water butts? Do you have any? Can you find space for any? Again, something worth considering before you get to the planning route.

Veg patch? Try and place it as near to your water butt/source as you can

Shed/greenhouse? If you haven't got either and wish to have both, at some point: consider now where they will go if you can't afford them straight way.

The two main forums I read on here when I first joined were:

Beginners Garden Development
Identification Area

Golden nuggets they are!

Enjoy your visits, there are some lovely people on here (won't name them, but, basically, read the whole members list ): looking forward to getting to know you around the boards

Psst! Solved that problem ... now I just write "Hunters"

 

Hi and from me to you

 

Thanks for the welcome everyone I'm loving it here already and got lots advice from other peoples questions!
I will add some pics and sizes of my garden tomoz.
I tried a compost bin last year but it was stinking and covered in flies so I got rid of it. The local skip/recycling center give away free compost, all I need is bags which I got from empty dog biscuit bags so that's ok.

Ps I'm a total noob with forums in general so I apologise in advice if I thread in wrong places

 

Welcome to GC Rob...Enjoy.....

Have you got any pics of your garden? And any ideas as to what you want to do with it?[/quote]

Adding pics from today now

 

Hi there Rob,
glad to have you aboard the Ark. We'll all continue sailing until the floods go down and we can see dry land again. Plenty here to keep you amused until then,

This is where I was thinking of having my veg plot, it's 1840mm x 2540mm (approx 6ft by 8ft)
Not sure how to start, will draw some plans today. Walls need a lock of paint too!
The back wall also faces East.


View from the veg plot towards the house (ignore the rubbish under the window on the left lol, that's going the skip next week)


I LOVE my shed

I don't really have much to spend on it at the moment, plus it's rented accommodation so need a garden that's reasonably easy to 'pack up'

 

Grr sorry sent it twice. How do I delete one?

 

I've done it for you, but there is a 'delete' link at the bottom of your posts.

 

Click on the second oned
At the bottom should be a list of things you can do , including "edit ,delete"
Just click delete and wait a few seconds. it should disappear when you click on "delete post",
Jenny

 

As Clue just said Rob,
Jenny

 

Thanks @ARMANDII

I've always wanted a shed, with a lil table to pot and build. And was a bargain at £15! Give 'her' a new coat, now she's looking gorgeous haha.
Was thinking of putting some soil on the top and growing a little 'meadow', but that would be very high maintenance?
