This is a blog of what's happening in my garden. Since I potter around in it most days, there should be loads of tedious detail. It's mainly for me but it you enjoy it that's great! The garden is an urban garden in Cheltenham, UK. The soil is very free draining and a little alkaline. Some parts are sunny but there's a lot of shade too. The location and a large wall down one side mean that I can get quite a few tender plants through the winter.

Broad Beans over, Viginian Stock doing well
Had last of the Broad Bean crop last night. The 'Red Epicure' variety is
definitely good! Cut down the stems and put in compost bin. No sign of the
undersown French Beans yet.

going.
