The joy of gardening

There is nothing better in the glorious English summer time than going out in your garden and mowing the lawn or tend to your plants. Everybody does it, first sight of sunshine and all the neighbours come out in their shorts mowing the grass ha.

I spend hours in my garden so i like it to look as nice as possible but with as little work as possible to be honest. I like to get the kids involved which they love and is far more constructive than video games!! My little girl would spend all day playing in the mud and digging weeds out our garden. My garden is a busy one with lots of children toys all over the place,paddling pools and sand pits as far as the eye can see but that is what your garden is for at the end of the day.

I grow lots of strawberry in my garden, one plant a friend gave to me two years ago has turned into a giant strawberry bush which produces enough strawberry for the whole street! Next season i will have that many i will have to start selling them to Tesco ! There are lots of different things that are so easy to grow in your garden you really would be missing out if you did not just give it a go. I have tried lots of different types of gardening methods and at the

 I have used an auto pot hydroponics auto feeder to grow a couple of  pepper plants in my green house and I have to say that the results I gained from growing this way have been amazing and cant wait to try this method on other crops I intend to grow this next summer. I have a water collection system in place from the gutters of my garage that I use for watering my plants as this is healthier for the plant and does not contain any heavy metals or man made elements that can be harmful.

Next thing I will be landscaping my garden with is a hot tub and I do not care how many plants I have to cut down to fit it in! I do love my plants and greenery but come on if it is a choice then hot tub will win every time.
