The bottom pic is the current state of my main bed in the front garden and the top one is of the bed in front of our bay window. Many years ago it used to look quite good but now is just a mess. The planting has been swamped by weeds and self-seeding bullies and the soil is a mass of roots.
I have started cleaning it up and intend to keep a few structural plants but most will be planted with 'edible' crops. Against my neighbours new fence I've planted hedge of Cherry Plums and roses. Currently just some sticks in the ground, but in the years to come the basic ingredients for jellies and liqueurs.
The bay window bed will be mainly herbs and flowers. The seeds are sown, we now wait for the first signs of growth.
