I didn't lay all the beds though, because quickly I realised I have room for another greenhouse, and since we haven't got the summer house in place yet, the beds are going in as I need them.

I am not sure how much I can grow, but loads, I'm sure - I'm starting to understand my space now, and yes... loads. LOADS.

I have definite plans of laying a path and I'm hoping to take Veggie's approach and scroungers them for free over the next year. - This path is still in my plans, but I need the summer house in place first, and rid of the old one. It will be a red brick path

I'm also taking up a fair bit of concrete that is in the wrong place. - All done!!

Other than that, I'm planning to wait and see what comes up - nothing fun has come up other than some yellow primroses under a big bush of some kind. I'm gonna have to put all the fun in, I think

I've chopped down all the brown in the flower bed this morning and feel the need to move phlox, crocosmia, pinks and day lillies to better places so they're not so intermingled. I've resolved to sow beans, peas, courgettes and corn in two batches to extend the growing season. I've found several bags of 2 yr old shreddings/leaves which have formed lovely mulch which will go into the borders of gh2 when I remove the toms  to improve the soil.
There that's a start

Not growing quite so many varieties of beans, stick to  CFB Hunter, Fasold for early ones and one other probably  Lidls, perhaps with drying beans up elsewhere to plant and forget. Bijou MT and maybe some Sugar Bon or Oregon Sugar Pod. Stagger sowing of cucs and not grow so many. Try to convince P to let me have the old climbing frame for a tromba growing frame, at present it's at the top of the garden and he sits on the top of it in the sun to catch his breath and cool off after grass cutting. Might not succeed there 

Try and put some thought into the flower border, at present it's very haphazard, but I'm useless at it, so might fail.

haha I'll be happy to share! I'll do another video in a couple of weeks' time when I've had a chance to finish off the greenhouse and tidy up a bit. It's all a bit messy right now. But yes, update is coming
