A Brand New Start

The new garden is nothing like the old garden. Where we used to have grass and plants and problems with rain and clay we now have concrete patios, monoblocked driveways and red ‘chuckies’ where you’d normally find a flower bed.

I honestly don’t know where to start.

We salvaged Erica’s six Strawberry plants from the old house before they changed the locks and somehow they have magically multiplied into 30 strawberry plants. Not bad going if you ask me. So my afternoon so far today has been replanting them into containers until such time as we have a plan for the garden. We also managed to salvage our cherry tree, a single raspberry cane and a couple of hosta rootstalks. I might need to go with my begging hat to my parents for any spare flowers they might have next year.

We’ve rebuilt the chicken coop at the highest, flattest part of the garden for our four new hens. We just need to work out if we are going to custom build a run for them or to extend the Omlet run by another few metres for when we’re not at home.

So yeah, back to square one almost!

As you can see there is a lot of space but it’s going to be awkward turning it into a garden with a veg patch and some flowers without putting everything in containers which we don’t want to do.

On the plus side that entire stretch of grass gets the sun almost the entire day so might make for a good spot for the veg patch and it keeps it out of the way of visitors.
