Michael, just how small is your garden? You seem to grow so much! And then you have the nice potting shed and alpine house! When I think of a small garden I think of the yards I grew up with, which were roughly the size of a king-sized bed with barely room for a 2 foot deep border marching around in front of the obligatory cyclone fence and a pillow-case's worth of green grass in the middle. Yours must be bigger than that! Carol virtually gardening

Carol, My garden is 12 metres wide and 30 metres long, but as you can see it is very compact, with every sq inch used to the best advantage.I have frames along the side of the Alpine house and at the back of the potting shed.I also grow a lot of plants in troughs and various containers, and move them around from time to time. I have frames under the bench in the Alpine house for plants that like shade.

Michael, I have a rather large garden. Like many people with large gardens, I envy the polished perfection of gardens like yours. I garden grandly but coarsely, you garden like a jeweler.

What a lovely way to describe Michael's garden. Kirk's right. You do garden like a jeweler and your garden is definitely a jewel of great beauty. I especially like the Alpines. Nicely done.
