First baby steps into the world of gardening

What do you do with a space at the back of an English city terraced house?

Deck the lot? How nineties. No, all-wood deck, pots and spiky tropicals are not my style one bit.

Grass and Borders is the way forward - Grass for the puppy to sit on and chew his beef knuckle bones, and wide borders crammed with evergreen shrubs and flowers planted in a sensuous cottage-garden-style, for my soul.


(This is Pitch Puppy, our 16 month old Labrador in a rare still moment on the lawn.)

Due to space limitations and the extra cost, I ignored Dear Husband's request for a shed. My fear that he'd simply stuff it full due to his hoarding tendencies, and the fact he may wa nt to actually live it, had nothing to do with it, Nothing at all.
