My name is Sarah I am 27 yrs. I have three Kids. Love my gardening as a good time out, bit of space. I like to grow my own, dont do much buying. I tend to get seeds of my own plants/friends or anyones plants I like. Got a small front garden thats mine. Its fenced off from the kids. Put my own water fountain in this year. The problem I have is remembering the names of plants it doesnt help when the kids mix up my seedlings. Got a large back garden 30ft by 25ft not exact. This I havent started yet. It belong to the kids swings, toys, bikes,wendy house etc. I am going to be splitting this 3/4 to them and a 1/4 to me. Having the bottom of the garden it has sun all day long there. Will be putting a seating area with climbers around the sides. Was thinking of making a divider with shrubs? instead of fencing. To plant plants that will bounce back from the kids. I have been helping with a school garden. At the moment its a case of weeding and cutting down. They have a pond to which I know nothing so thats my winter study. Would love to plant winter flowering plants in both.
