We bought a small greenhouse and started to grow herbs such as parsley, lemon balm, mint and chives. We also, attempted to grow dill and basil with limited success. Over recent years we fitted water butts to most of our down pipes and can water most of our garden from that source alone. Only in those rare droughts do we have to resort to connecting our hose to the mains water supply.
We needed to reseed the lawn in spring, with a lot of help from our friends at Green Thumb. We also used this opportunity to re-surface our drive and carpark. We have never before had enough time to close the business and complete this work. We decided to use a resin surface and have been very pleased with the results. The opportunity presented itself with no lawn, and an excavated drive to create new flower beds and borders.
