I'm downsizing already!

And I haven't even made any raised beds yet My dad came down last week and at the weekend to help move the pond and level the top half of the garden. He did say though that if I used it all for raised beds he wasn't helping! So I've just grabbed myself space for 2 raised beds and a herb/flower bed.

I suppose sometimes for the help you have to make sacrifices! I still have enough room for a raised bed in the lower half of the garden for the children to use. And over the years I'm sure I can use it if I need to

Will go and take photos later. Also of my greenhouse which is now full of stuff after being nice and empty last week! I'm very excited though as stuff is actually happening in it which should sort it out after 5 years of being here (although to be fair the first 2 years were spent on house renovation)!

Hi Gryfon
I've only got room for 3 raised beds and thats tight, the rest goes in containers! But with careful planning, you can get an awful lot out of just a couple of raised beds and containers, trust me!!!
It is exciting when it all starts coming up! I've now got 3 of those mini 4 tiered greenhouses and their all starting to fill up pretty quick.

Thanks Makes a change from my old house with a yard you couldn't swing a cat in and no sunlight so I had to grow things on the flat roof! Was fun trying to climb onto that Although I could water straight from the tap in the bathroom

I also have a fair bit of space in the greenhouse as well, although the bed I'll be using needs digging over. I may raise that as well.

I'm struggling with my back at the moment though so I have to wait for Mr G to come and help. It's frustrating as if I was alright I'd be out there now making space for my compost bin! I don't dare do any digging or weeding though until it's all calmed down again
