    Hi all,

    Just a note to say I have a 50 x 50 plot to the rear of my place which is now completely revamped for me and my lot.
    I have been on and off playing in the mud for sum decades and luv it to bits.:happydance:

    Central is a lawn and to the left is a long border of various plants and trees.
    To the right is my veg area of raised beds due to thick clay for soil.:gaagh:

    Have been in this place for about ten years now and enjoy the benefits of growing our own.:dbgrtmb:

    Have tried to encourage the family, but the oh is the only one to take intrest in the growing of things.

    More later when I have chance to say it. On nights this week and waiting for No.1 Daughter to finish with me helping her move.

    Good weather to you all and may your crops grow on you.:sunny:
