This used to be a concrete drive and now it’s a little piece of heaven (for me anyway!), and a great play area for the kids.
I use this garden to grow food to eat, flowers that look good and plants that I can use for homeopathic remedies. Hey, what else is gardening for?

Hi, thanks for the comment! It’s a small space approx 5m x 6m with a small off-shot bit that goes around the house. Everything is in containers so it is quite easy to slot everything in. Hope all my plants survive though. This site is great for info and networking so if I do encounter problems, I’ll find the answer here!

Ooohh, so you’re doing onions in containers too? I’ve got spring onions and shallots but not round ones. I’m keen to see how yours do. :-)
