Creating a useful area from a tiny garden:
A functional space for growing the basics with a usable living area.
I am transforming my garden into a place to grow my own and a place to enjoy. I am building a conservatory and collecting items; a water trough for planting, stone slabs for a sitting area, and a compost bin.
Once you decide to change your outdoor living space, you start focusing your time and energy. Bringing out your creative side, that make's the whole project so much more enjoyable, as you see your garden come alive.
Creating an area to grow your own, in a small garden plot, that is also used to enjoy, relax and entertain in.
Growing your food rather than buying it from the supermarket, is very satisfying.
The benefits of growing in containers:
I will divide the large containers. One to grow salad, the other for carrots and potato's this season. As I am too late to grow garlic and onion.
I will also grow tomato's and chillies, as I have now found a small tomato house. The small ports I will grow herbs and anything else.
Plus some flowers in between the pots.
Possible, grow an apple or pear tree that can be trained.
