This is the new bed which Pete started digging for me at the bottom of our front lawn. I have planted it with some broom and rowan seedlings and various hebes grown from cuttings, with some sweet williams in between.
The first bed I dug at the front of the house.
The bed under our bedroom window which I enlarged this spring.
The first rockery which John helped build.Last Saturday was the Stanley horticultural society's gearden competition for flower gardens and polytunnels and Simon entered mine. I won first prize for my flower garden (although there were only 4 entries) and the judges were particularly impressed with the rockery.
I also won first prize for my polytunnel by default as it was the only one entered!
Simon has also entered my vegetable garden into the competition but they are not judged until 6th March so I have a bit of time to tidy up. This is part of the new patch which I have cultivated this season.

What a fantastic garden you've cultivated there, Meg. So many lovely flowers and veggies! A well-deserved first prize, I'd say.
Love Liz x
I agree. The success of the garden really is a testament to all Mum's hard work. I dug a very small part of one bed and it took me a whole day to do it due to the clay and stones. Mum must have spent well over a thousand hours working on that garden in the last year.
