gardening

Even though I suffer from arthritis and cannot now do the "heavy stuff", I still love gardening. Growing annuals and vegetables from seed is an absolute passion of mine. It takes determination to stick at it, and it is taking a long time to re-model my current garden (still a lot of turf to get rid of!) but I love every minute of it. Apart from scrubbing the leanto down. :-#

Growing, growing, gone... veg I am growing, organically of course!

Alternative Gardening
Bradley's About - photos of my garden, by the Bunmeister.
Graham's Garden - don't panic if your garden is a mass of weeds. Looked at another way, its a "native wildflower conversation area". These photos are by fellow South-East Londoner Graham Thomas.
