I enjoyed reading the progress of the garden. Do you still have potatoes popping up in random places? I find that they are impossible to get rid of once allowed in the garden 😅
That's always the way 😆 I just grow perennial potatoes now. I planted them once and dig some out a few times a year but there are always some left in the ground to keep going. So I never have to buy seed potatoes again.
Whoops! I was trying to say it sounds like you’ve made some tough but sensible decisions so far. I too have some pretentious border names which make me slightly embarrassed and amused when I use them but they are useful! I’m looking forward to your continued progress.
What a wonderful garden space! You’ve worked wonders here. It looks very lush and productive when I think of my rather barren, reed infested croft. Loving your borders ❤️
That's lovely of you to say so, Lesley. I think I didn't take enough photos of the garden at its worst and most daunting. It would have been good to look back on now. I have the benefit of gardening on previous arable land, and you have among the most challenging conditions in the UK. Your Polycrub is going to be a game-changer. Did you see the segment on Monty Don's British Gardens of the couple gardening near Inverewe?

Oh yes, and they're often better than the carefully planted ones from the current year!

It sounds as though

No I didn’t, but that sounds like it would be worth checking out. Thank you
