2022 - Plans and hopes.

I am in the search for well rotted manure and if I find it, I'm laying all the veg beds before winter. - I found my endless supply of horse manure, just about every villager wants to give it away. 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. Still have access to all the horse manure I need, just not enough time to go and get it. I'm hoping to free up a day on a weekend sometime soon to get another load. I really do consider what beds I managed to get laid down this year was far, far above my expectations, and they've cropped really quite well considering the odd weather.

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. Yes, loads, and there will be more growing space, maybe even double next year.

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've not made a start on the path, because I need the summerhouse up, before I can lay a permanent path down the garden, in between the summerhouse and the gardening shed. My wooden arbour will go over it.

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  Definitely putting in all the fun! I think the number of beds will grow in the back garden, and a gradual redesign of the front garden. The octagonal raised bed in the middle of the front garden is nice, and things are growing well, and I may keep it. All the gravel surrounding it though.... that has to go. I want a massive border filling that space, preferably with a theme, but I'm not sure what yet. It'll distract from the boring look of the house. And ideally, I'd like to paint a mandala on the front of the house, but I doubt I'll get Jay to agree to that. And a silver birch - that needs to go somewhere.
