Helga's bare beginnings


The basic framework is all that there is - but rather nice! The most structured kitchen garden I have ever had - but still needs trellis at the right and on the top of the fence, and a fence for grapes along the little strip on the left of the white path. Wonderful but far too pristine - needs some little pansies and calendulas and of course some more vegetables.

The rest of the back yard is also shaping up, though the carport and the shed must go... I have planted 5 camellias and 10 Buxus 'Little Gem' for hedges at the edge of the lawn, and have a whole lot of Little Gem cuttings in a propagator. And struggled with the weeds!
The trellis on the fence on the West side looks wonderful, and removes the sense of the neighbour buildings. Once my extra structures are gone, I hope the sense of the new garden will quickly take shape.
