WELCOME TO MY POTTING SHED

You can't beat a dollop of mud a day to keep the Doctor at bay.

Why not follow me about as I garden for money and just for fun in beautiful Nailsworth and its' environs.

What's it all about?

My gardens, that's all and any gardening related stuff I guess you might be interested in.

Where do I garden?

My house is in the centre of Nailsworth. With the wind in the right direction, we get a strong whiff of curry as it floats out of the Passage to India and into our front garden. We never get this smell anywhere else on our premises, which is either a good thing, or a bad one, depending on your point of view. As you now know we have a garden, a small rectangle, at the front of the house, and a triangular courtyard garden at the back. Then there's the Garden Plot, right down in the heart of Nailsworth, which I rent from a local business. This is new as from Autumn 2009 and will take a lot of work to help it become productive. I try to garden for veges at my friend Debbis house and for fun with my next door neighbour.

It adds up to a lot of work. For a relaxing hobby, it's proving stressful at times, but, mostly it's heaven.

There are customers who like me to work for them right through the year, and others who I see during the summer months. This working more days a week in the summer than in the winter, of course. The way to keep the finances stable for me has been to teach on the days I don't garden. Works really well for me. The bills get paid, we haven't starved to death yet and we get to have fun ... sometimes!

Sort The Potting Shed

After 2 years on the plot, the potting shed was a mess. The shed came with the plot and contained a table and some general, very heavy, junk. At first I kept the junk; it wasn't mine, but now I feel I can get rid of it. I kept the table!


I'll have 2 tables in here once I've finished, the junk had a table to itself.


Sort through and throw away the rubbish, as you do this move things where they will best fit.


Then ...... add the storage - office cupboards that were destined for the tip and some deep wooden racking - for a clamp.


Very useful for keeping things away from the tom cat that wanders through here 'spraying,


and sleeping on my fleeces etc. All is peace and order now.

I'm working on that clamp too, for my over wintering vegetables. It will be in here, you can see the edge of the wooden racking in the left of this piccy.
