Hello all, my name is Karen and I am Bob's wife. Neither of us is a garden expert but we do like the garden to look nice. Bob has shown more enthusiasm for gardening since we have been here in Melksham than he ever did in Cornwall (probably because I am not such a control freak up here) Although neither of us is particularly able physically, between the two of us we manage to achieve most things. Worst thing about this garden is the soil, it is so thick and claggy. The soil in Cornwall was like rich chocolate cake mix and was really easy to work. Still, you have to work with what you have. Hope to speak to you again soon.

Hello Karen Very Happy

Great avatar! Yes we have clay soil too - pros and cons of it I suppose. Cornwall soil sounds lovely. Bob's done so well setting this forum up Smile
