Your garden personality

I believe that like our pets our gardens give something of our personality away, especially to the strangers who walk up your garden path. So what does your garden say about you?Well its only fair that I go first so while I was mowing the lawn (in my T-shirt in Nov silly weather) I examined what my garden says about me.Well the front garden is well presented if not a little unorthodox, can I get away with saying that without sounding arrogant, oh and a little too preoccupied with what other people think.Fussy in some areas and completely unorganised in others.Wildlife friendly trying to be organic and full of veg, fitting as I am vegetarian.There is always something happening and can be a little to busy at timesAnd lastly quite and private down a little country lane.So what does yours say about you are you a loud urban brightly coloured personality or a quite church mouse a scruffy unashamed estate garden or a formal garden totally in control of your life?

  • I had to have something different - we moved into a new estate where everyone was putting in a little squiggly bit of grass, chips round it and no plants what so ever. Mine has no grass, a big pebble and lots of plants - palms, bamboo, ferns, grasses, lavender up the side so we all brush up against it - all the plants I love. I can safely say nobody else has a garden like mine. The back however is still a work in progress - the designs were done before we moved in but the actual hard work hasn't happened - can't face it after a hard day doing someone elses!
  • I had to have something a bit different, but haad to use plants I had left over from jobs, mainly comercial unfortunatly. My front garden is about 10' x 12', I have beds were the lawn should be and a lawn where the beds should be in effect, we have a large continious boarder around the edge with a dounought of lawn 2 mower widths wide and a smaller circle bed in the middle, under the window is like a cotege garden, flowing into something more achitectural int a rose garden as you continue around the garde, the middle bed exists grom my teens and is the 'goth bed' everything in it is either black, white or deep purple! all needs a tidy atm but in generalis very tidy.
  • Keiran I love the sound of your 'goth bed' I want one :)

"I haven't use liquid iron but do use soluble iron sulphate, takes a wee bit more mixing as it's a powder but I find it goes further and is cheaper than the liquid, I get mine from agrigem."

Groundleader replied to Peter sellers's discussion Retirement advice
"This is definitely NOT my field of expertise, but I'd guess what most buyers might be interested in, could include:
1)  What's the realistic market value of your "hard" assets (vehicles, machinery, tools, materials etc).
2)  For the "goodwill" part…"

Sam Bainbridge replied to Dougie's discussion Looking for a new roller machine
"Buy an old Honda roller mower, the new ones break in 18 months and cost you £500 that is then repeated every 12 months.
Either a honda or others the same which actually came out of the same factory with different names, sharp, lawnflite, kaaz, all…"
