Malcolm's Front garden

Garden Type: Flower | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: Combination I'm Organic!

It’s just flowers. I’m just learning. The goal is to please the bees.

I’ve just paced it: about 12 by 4, so about 48 square meters, maybe 45 of growing space (there are a couple trees).

The soil is awful, full of broken glass, broken brick, broken bone, but I’m composting and I’m planting clover in bits, in part to improve to the soil.
