My Garden

Welcome to my garden blog; we have lived in this house for 32 years and the garden was virtually bare when we moved in. I think we had 2 Queen Elizabeth roses and some Rhubarb!
The small front garden however had 9 huge clumps of orange Mombresia around the lawn's edge.
We garden on heavy clay which is challenging but over the years we've worked out what works and what doesn't.
The garden has been a playground for our three children over the years and we are not precious about it but we do know what we like.
I hope you enjoy following it through the year.

Calamondin Tree

A Calomondin Tree

Our friends Charley & David brought this orange tree for us as a present
The fruits can be used to make marmalade and I imagine other culinary uses
It can be kept on a bright windowcill or in a conservatory
Also it can stay in the garden for the summer so long as the temperature stays above 5 degrees.

It seems very abundant at the moment so hope I don't kill it!
