Wild Garden / Car park / Utilities [4]

This is a large gravelled area where the oil tank, the septic tank are situated and where I can park my car. Because of the septic tank I can’t grow trees or any other deep rooted plants here, but there is a Cornish hedge alongside the fence beyond which is a very overgrown area in the farmyard. But I have made a start on planting the wall up with bits from the rest of the garden which I hope will make it somewhat prettier.

And this is where my Belfast sink is – filled with all sorts of Alpine plants though I lose a lot over the winter months due to the wet, not the cold. Too heavy to bring inside, but I should try and fashion some sort of cloche for it. Plus my summer patio containers live here.

This seems to be an awful lot of plants for one small garden!
