While perusing the Riveredge website I found information about a plant that provides ground cover in our wooded areas each year. I think I should start experiencing the Riveredge Plant Phenology Trails and learn more about our woodland. (Susannah)

Building raised beds

Has anyone had any experience of building a raised bed? I am in the planning stage so any advice would be welcome (Emma) 

Maureens Garden can now be seen on Facebook

I wrote this in November but didn't get round to publishing it until now

November 2015

Weather still mostly mild. I picked 2 more chilli peppers from an unheated greenhouse today Lots of flowers everywhere and very colourful.  No frosts so far but lots of wind and rain.

March 2016

As I am finding it difficult to post on Blogger from my IPad I have decided that I will use Facebook for future posts of Maureens Garden. 

Here are a few final photos for the Blog in this form
