Gardening expertise
Very Keen

Biggest gardening accomplishments
Designing my back garden

Biggest gardening frustrations
Battling with creeping-buttercup, couch grass, snails and slugs

The gardening project I am currently working on
Creating planting plans for the different areas of my garden, because my plants in the back garden are in pots at the moment, and I want to plant them out next year.
