Smile Beginning of a new adventure

Hello,

My name is Kat. I've been living in a top floor flat for the last ten years and have desperately been trying to find a little bit of green space to do some gardening, plant some flowers and grow some veg. Thanks to a garden share scheme that matches people wanting a garden with elderly or disabled people who are unable to tend their garden I have finally been given some garden space.

I have a border, along the edge of the garden, to call my own. It's roughly 1.2m x 18m but is currently completely overgrown (head high in places) with old raspberries, brambles, grass, saplings, stray weeds, what I believe may be St John's Wort (or something in the same family) and various other miscellany. It's going to take a lot of work to clear it but I'm very excited.

I've decided to join the forum because I've never really gardened before and no doubt I'll be back asking all sorts of silly questions about my soil, where things should be planted and what I should be growing.

Kat
