Hi Ladies
Don't know how I have the nerve to write in on this subject as I am a dreadful gardener. If I lived on my own I would have a flat with a balcony and have some tubs and that would be it. However, I have a wonderful OH who enjoys gardening and he works tirelessly making it look good. We have mostly shrubs as we are away more than we are here and our other pied e terre (caravan by the coast) has a garden too which requires mowing - weeding etc. In fact the garden there is better kept I reckon. Also, we are on a water meter here and no matter how hot it gets we won't use the hosepipe, that's why the shrubs are a good investment as they don't need as much care.
Woody, I am envious of your produce - yum yum!
