In the beginning April 18, 2009

It was  July 2000 and  I moved into my little flat with my daughters Kerry and Leigh. Try as I might, I just couldn’t get on top of the garden  which had been neglected for goodness knows how long. It was all i could do to get my Dad to come over and mow the grass!

Fast forward to July 2001 and I had met and fallen in love with Geoff, who lived in Maidstone, Kent. To cut a long story short, Christmas 2001,  he moved up to Scotland to be with us permanently. Best move of his life I say!.

Anyway,not only did I have the love of my life with me,  I now had a partner in crime to tackle the garden. This is the story of how we (He when it came to the heavy lifting and hard graft really) have shaped and nurtured the garden into what it is today, starting with this humble beginning…..

Can you see Geoff (aka MaDge) moving the grass??

Welcome to my little oasis of green. April 18, 2009

Hi there. My real  name is Susan but you can call me Minxxy. I normally blog all about my knitting and crafting  over at http://minxxy.typepad.com but I have decided to start a seperate blog all about my latest interest, gardening.

I have been bitten by the gardening bug. I am going to document the trials and triubulations of a novice gardener within the pages of this blog. A personal record of where it all started, where it’s at and where it’s all going to go. A record for the future, an heirloom for my family, a simple diary of achievement and failure to look back on.

Let’s do it!
