Welcome Curious Gardeners and Ailurophiles

Starting a new blog seems a daunting task. I suppose the easiest way will be to introduce the two felines whose outdoor space I do my best to tend, Mili (right) and Hecate (left).

We have lived together for 9 years and despite appearances to the contrary, they are not in fact sisters. The blog will, over time, reflect all our interests in the great outdoors

The garden is my excuse to get out of the house. It is a work in progress and a major hope for this blog will be to pick up tips and more detailed advice from any knowledgeable readers. Your feedback will be most appreciated.

The elevation of the house and garden make design and maintenance a challenge. The climate, soil, relief and drainage each present different puzzles to solve. Welcome to our garden.
