When the email I was waiting for finally arrived...'Welcome - you are the first to have a box in the new area of the garden' I was so excited.
Friends donated compost and the soil loved it. Within a few months all the seeds in the compost were sprouting and as a novice garden, I had no idea if they were cucumbers, zucchini's or pumpkin. They turned out to be pumpkin!

| What a bounty |
Soon more boxes were taken up. The transformation has been nothing short of amazing.
 |
| Raspberries, strawberries and blueberries - roll on summer |
 |
| The new orchard |
Blue drums arrived..........................
And Beans, beans and more beans grew
 |
| An excess of carrots transplanted into a barren garden bed flourished. Now the nectarine tree has blossomed. |
Spring has arrived ........
 |
| North towards the pond |
 |
| South facing |
And a new challenge for me this spring.....
  |
| Before.......................................................and after |
