Gardening in Lockdown

[ , , , , ]

Lockdown DIY inside the house meant that I'd pretty much burned out in terms of effort. I had a month or two to take stock, see where things were at, and enjoy what was in place. In general, the garden was taking care of itself pretty well. The perennials that I'd planted were doing well, and we had established some initial structure in the garden to make it into a usable space.

We'd put some pots down the side of the patio/gravel area but they weren't quite enough of a borderline, and we realised that the seating area at the bottom by the pond just wasn't getting used at all - it was basically in the shade, too cold, and too far away to be of interest.
