Biggest gardening accomplishments
I think that biggest garden accomplishment was to bring back some former order to a large Victorian garden which had no attention for at least 10 years. Although I had to discard many shrubs and plants I managed to save quite a lot too.

Biggest gardening frustrations
I have a few frustrations; the biggest is probably finding large holes where I had just planted. We have Squirrels, and the occasionally fox but I think it’s the Squirrels that is to blame for the damage. Another problem is Wild Garlic which is taking a long time to rid the garden of, although it’s less each year, (this year will be the third)

The gardening project I am currently working on
I had to cut down a Willow last November as I have too many trees which deprive the garden of light, now I am planning new garden beds.
