Would never suit P with his love of straight lines and tidiness, would it? Looks a lovely 'secret garden' type. You should take pictures from the same viewpoint when everything is in full leaf/bloom as a before and after.

There is a ditch there, before the fence. I used to be able to walk along the ditch but its so overgrown now that I can't even get down into it. Its one of my longstanding aims - to walk in the ditch again. Most people want to do something like see the Pyramids or climb Everest ................I just want to walk in the ditch.

It used to have a roof on it with a couple of seats and a table underneath but the roofing sheets warped and, instead of channelling rainwater into a waterbutt, it formed a pond on the roof!! Rather than re-roof it, or demolish it, its been enclosed with fireguards and a safety gate - to keep the dogs and chooks out. The square beds inside are from a stacking wormery.
I've put a layer of hotbin compost in the bottom of each square and top it up with last year's tomato compost prior to planting courgettes in each one.
The canes are from the cutdown bamboo and I'll grow something up them - beans or squashes or similar
