Default Greetings from Hampshire

So I have two small front and back gardens. East and west facing.
I'm focusing on the back west facing garden this year and have used tractor tyres as raised beds.
So far so good.
I will keep you posted on how it all goes.

Hello Ever Green,
Welcome to the Forum, most of us start off small, but it quickly gets out of control and we end up encroaching on flower beds or even getting allotments, it,s an addiction.
All the best and Regards Hammer.

Hia Ever Green, welcome to the forum. Tractor tyres eh? Good idea.

Wonder what you'll plant in your east facing garden? I guess it doesn't get much sun?

Ali.

Well I'm not around at sun up but I'd say a good 6 hours sun in summer for the east and 8 to 10 in west. I was thinking of a woodland meadow flowers for the low light garden and lots of stuff for the three B's, bird, bee, and butterfly foods. I have blown all the cash on the west garden so east will have to wait till next year.
