It seemed like a good day to go out and sweep up the thick coating of hazel leaves which were covering the grass and have a bit of a tidy up of the paths and paved areas too. Although it was nearly dark by the time I finished, I think it will look a whole lot better tomorrow and maybe I have unearthed a few more goodies for the birds.
In the greenhouse I am astonished to find that the salad "cress"and coriander IS still growing along with a few other potted tender plants. They seem to have survived the frozen soil. So too has the parsley and land cress growing in the garden!!!
On a less positive note I decided to check my dahlia corms in the shed and oh, woe... they are not in good shape. After all my efforts I will be buying afresh in the spring. Never mind, it will be fun to choose some more! (and a lesson learned for next year....)
Having developed my small urban garden from what started, 25 years ago, as a vegetable patch, it gives me such pleasure I want to share it....

Small Garden Story
Over some 15 + years, I have been photographing the evolution of my small (85 x 15 foot) garden and it seems a waste not to put these records into some sort of context. Beginning here in April 2010 this Blog is intended to both act as a diary and to share past and present successes (and some failures), pleasures and disappointments with fellow garden-lovers. In due course, I intend to fill in some of the background and early days but that will have to wait until the winter months!
