About me
Have been working the same tiny garden for 30 years, it has had several guises - courtyard, cottage garden, currently a gravel-based seaside feature garden to suit the fisherman's cottage it is attached to.

Gardening expertise
Keen but Clueless

Biggest gardening frustrations
Very thin sandy soil, (mainly crushed seashell), doesn't hold nutrients. Living on a corner attracts lots of litter!!

The gardening project I am currently working on
My seaside garden - very tiny, but in order to replace an old shed with something more practical and appealing, I'm constructing a 'promenade' of tiny beach huts.
