Dido's Profile

Hello, Dido is my nickname (Diane) my garden is my baby, perhaps now my big baby
The garden when we bought the house in 1980 was an overgrown lawn, a lot of blackberry bushes and a neglected apple tree, not much to work with... but today
thirty years on, a lot of mistakes, patience and hard work its my sanctuary.

I like to plant as naturally as I can, try to make it look like it happend by accident, I prefer trees and shrubs, but love all plants. I grow some veg but time is not plentiful, I work full time still, but at least the boys have flown the nest now!

I have fruit trees, Apple, Pear Cherry and Plum grow lots of herbs and fruit bushes aswell, really I'll have a go at anything!

I have just made a wildlife pond, its in its first year and I am thrilled I already have tadpoles.

Like to think I have some experience of a lot, but definately not an expert in any one area, still learning as we speak... Just happy to get my hands mucky!
