About me
I am retired and love to spend time in my garden looking after my plants. I tend to overplant because when I visit a garden centre there is always something I have to buy for my garden ! I am not very good at the design aspect of gardening and so I stick to quite simple shapes. I love Shoot as it is full of useful information and I check my care plan most days.

Gardening expertise
Very Keen

Biggest gardening accomplishments
Clearing away years of neglect in my garden from the previous owners.

Biggest gardening frustrations
Heavy clay soil in one border and poor drainage in parts of the garden

The gardening project I am currently working on
Trying to make the garden as easy to manage as possible.
