Very unruly garden with a mind of its own - a cottage garden, I suppose. There is no lawn, just the paths that were put in before I had the house - these are only about 18" wide and once the plants spill over there is not much room to move. There is one very small area down at the bottom where I have berry bushes and a fig tree. Two large pergolas take care of the climbing clematis and honeysuckle. Two seating areas which are enclosed, and a big terrace which is the whole width of the garden. Early this year I dug out a gooseberry bush, stripped it down to one stem and I had one and a half pounds of gooseberries on a standard stem. The garden is on a downward slope and sheltered on all sides, but I face the Atlantic so the winds are a problem some of the time.eileen whiddett's garden plan

About me
a useful gardener, but I don't always get it right aout the soil I am planting in and I've had a few failures (a lot really)
Gardening expertise
Very Keen
Biggest gardening accomplishments
Making my garden up from a large plot filled with conifers and vegetables. Now it's a lovely cottage garden with vegetables contained in small unobtrustive beds. Planted about 7 trees to give the garden the much needed shade
Biggest gardening frustrations
Couch grass. Anyone who invents something to easily get rid of this weed wuill be a millionaire in no time at all.
