Karmacat
Karmacat's Back garden

Created on Monday, 30 Jun 08

Lots of terraces – even the patio where the container garden is, is split into two. None of the terraces that are wide enough to walk on are actually flat, with the one at the very back of the garden being downright steep.

Its all terribly, terribly overgrown. I’ve been doing about 3 hours a week for the past few weeks, and I now have proper access to the bottom third of the garden. I could grow so many veggies and fruit here, but I don’t. Hopefully this site and this diary will give me the motivation to keep going this time, instead of nearly completing something and letting it go to rack and ruin every year.
