My garden

My back garden - it's all mine :-)

I have lived in my flat for just over a year and a half and only just discovered that the courtyard garden at the back of the property is mine! This is not, as it sounds, like I was just being blissfully stupid and unaware that there was outdoor space but due to the lack of information from my letting agent.

Anyhow, the area is mine and I am going to do something with it. It would be lovely to grow some things in pots, maybe veg and flowers and have a nice seating area for when the weather is good. There is also a washing line and I so miss being able to hang out my washing! Line-dried clothes and bed-linen are just fabulous and fresh! I think I need to start by clearing out the weeds and growth that has come over from the yard next door. (I say next door but the garden on the right is not really owned by anybody but is just a fenced off space full of brambles).

The wall at the back has lots of possibilities too. Time to scour the bookshops and internet for ideas and how to's as I really do not know much at all about gardening!
