    Hi everyone. I live on the coast in the NW of England where we enjoy a relatively mild climate compared to a couple of miles inland. My wife and I have recently rebuilt our whole garden which is what led me to here and I will raise in the appropriate place.

    My wife loves to potter about, I used to have an allotment but work commitments meant giving that up, but once I've built myself a greenhouse, I will be back to growing stuff from seed again.

    I'm really not a gardener; my wife knows flowers more than me but we're always about giving things a go.

      Welcome to Gardeners Corner Stuart. For someone who says you're not really a gardener you've achieved a lot alongside your wife. :)

        Well. Just to give anyone encouragement, here's what we did to the garden this year

        It was originally built for my wife's father to make it accessible in a wheelchair hence the massive deck area, but after he passed, it started to get really rotten so the change was made this year...

        It was back breaking work, 3 skips worth but the results are great. Not much left to do apart from installing some outdoor rock speakers
