Hi all of you fellow garden lovers! Seems to be some interest in sharing ideas/problems etc.. I'm not an expert but really do enjoy being in the garden and would love to hear what everyone else is doing

Ok I'll put the first pics up so we can compare and contrast gardens around the world. We laid that "pour on" limestone last summer and got rid of the patio pavers so no more weeds coming through.

Planted a herb garden when we did the Limestone and it is now lush and lovely..this was it when it was newly planted

and my vegetable garden (not in view anywhere) has since taken off too. I am aiming for "the good life"...remember that TV show? No chickens or goats though!

Great Thread. I'll be in here a lot!

Carol, Your garden looks fabulous. So tropical! I could see myself there sipping a cocktail  and soaking up some sun .

No chance of me posting a photo of mine until I've done some serious weeding.

So you may get to see a photo in a year or two. In the meantime I'll see if I can dig up some photos of my last "project".

Looking forward to seeing photos of everyone's plot!

Smoke me a kipper I'll be back for Breakfast!

You did it! Wow-thats your garden? Beautiful.

You might know of fellow Grove-Siter MurfV...he lives in Carlow on the Knockanna Road? (And my boss lives on Pollerton Road!)

There are three kinds of people in the world,those who are able to count,and those who can't...
