    Well done, just had a quick look at the photo's. Looks like you will be busy the next few months!!

    Best of luck, my advice, take small steps and you will get more done.

        It looks really good, you'll love it

        Borage is great and the bees do love it but it self seeds like a maniac.

          Keep dead-heading the borage to stop it seeding everywhere: the leaves can make fertiliser (it's related to comfrey).

            A lot of what is growing is so pretty it will be a shame to cut it down but cut it down you must. Do let us have pics of the plot as you make progress and do enjoy your plot.

              That is a very pretty site to inherit. Mine was covered in tough grass and dark brown stick things.

              The Borage is beautiful.

                    Hmmph. McAfee blocked me using that link . Summat about being potentially dangerous.

                      link works fine for me (although McAfee doesn't, I hate it. First thing I did with my new pc was uninstall it)
