I’m a hopeful gardener. I tend to forget the important things like regular watering!

About 12 months ago, my partner and I moved into a house of our own, with a relatively clean slate of a garden – quite small, nice and flat, growing not much more than grass. So I’m getting used to the way the weather works here in Lithgow – I’d previously lived in the lower Blue Mountains, so the degree of cold and duration of frost is new to me. I’ve jumped the gun a bit with some of my sed plantings, having been warned not to plant tender things until after Melbourne Cup day, but I’m OK with losing things and starting over if I have to – it’s all a bit of an experiment, really.

I’ll write more as the garden progresses. Or if it doesn’t :)
