My plot is developing along those lines…

[jeni]

Its still early days yet as it was covered in perennial weeds when I took it over, but I have a strip for permanent stuff at the southern end; currently rhubarb, various soft fruit bushes and a strawberry bed, plus an old tin bath which will be lined with bubble wrap and filled with soil and compost to become my seed bed, then on the western side is my shed, which will be surrounded by flowers and a grass -free flowering lawn. On the eastern side is a bed which ‘zig-zags’ across the plot and is divided into sections with small paths between, where my main vegatable crops are sited, and one small section will also become a pond. At the back is compost and 3 elderberry trees and a shady area. There is a tall metal fence at the northern boundary, so i plan to train a quince against it and grow a few climbing plants up it. So far, it seems to be working well.
