I love gardening but take absolutely no notice of rule books, guide books or any other form of tuition, in me gardening is organic, plants either live or they die, its as simple as that. Earlier in the year I began taking up the monstrous decking that the previous owner had recently lain down at huge expense. Personally decking should be subject to a restraining order. Not only is a third of the garden taken up by a huge conservatory (another pointless carbuncle that is uninhabitable 4 months of the year as its so cold) but another third of the garden was laid to decking, including 28 concealed lights (which have never worked as water had got into the electrics) and before I arrived a hot tub - most entertaining for the people walking along the lane at the back of the house no doubt. The first section of decking to be removed left a carcass of timber which before I removed that I thought would make goodly raised beds. Today then sees the first planting in these raised beds, 3 outdoor tomatoes, 11 broad beans and 7 purple sprouting broccoli, all purchased today from Cleeve Nursery. Not having a greenhouse nor the patience to wait, they're in the ground. If it's too early to plant out and there's a frost, tough, they should just man up and grow!!
