Do you have that annoying shady border in your garden where nothing really grows? Or are you just unsure of what to plant? 🌓🌝

Fear not… I have decided to create a border plan specifically for the shade and our Essex clay soil. The plants I have chosen will thrive in clay soil, providing they’re watered regularly!
💦 🪴

My border plans come with 3m x 1m easy to follow plan, a plant list & quantity needed, aftercare instructions and a mood board. The plants in the plant show their final growing size, so you get a lovely full border.

I can also give you a ball park figure of the cost….so you can decide what sizes suit your budget best.

These plans can be tweaked to fit any area or they can just give you an idea of what plants to use to fill the gaps of your existing garden border.

These can be easily sent to you by email, where you can print them out your end…..

If your interested or have any questions, DM me and please feel free to share my post 🙏

More plans to come so watch this space!! 👇

In the sweltering heat of today I decided to re-vamp my polytunnel…

It had become a bit of a dumping ground .. my potting table was too low and there was crap everywhere 🤣

Anyway with the use of an old coffee table that had been sitting in the garden and some rustic potato chitting trays, I’ve made myself a new potting station.

Am chuffed to bits.. there’s a place for everything now and plenty of seed trays to sow some salad crops!

The veggies are growing well in the polytunnel, loads of tomatoes 🍅 courgettes and cucumbers 🥒 growing…

My little Potager is growing nicely too…. Loads of lovely fresh veggies to come 🥰🍎🍐🫐🍒🍅🍆🫛🥦🥬🥕🌽🫑🌶️🧅🥔
