I am following my own garden design advice this year by planning my own garden in winter! This really is the ideal time to start - to enjoy the results by summer. I have owned a number of gardens of various proportions - but the current one is modest, well let's say its small at about 72 sq m.
So now its decision time. What to do with this recently acquired rather run down space? I want to see just how productive a small garden can be, without sacrificing aesthetics entirely - although there will be compromises. Oh, and another thing - it is currently a theme park for the local insect population. And thats about the only 'feature' I want to retain. So it will be a balance - can it be done? Fresh veg/salad from garden to kitchen in less than twenty paces, sounds good doesn't it? But alongside all those very hungry caterpillers for real? We'll see!
