Hello world! Welcome to MiniPlot
It’s been a while. Too long. I decided to start up a new blog. My previous attempt, known as PlotBlog, was all (well mostly) to do with my old allotment. We moved house about 18 months ago, and as a result I had to give up the plot. So PlotBlog sort of fizzled out. Now I reckon it’s time to start again. This time I’m focusing on my attempts at “real” gardening, in a small town garden in suburbia.
We’ve got a front garden with a lot of gravel and a few trees and bushes of various size, only a few I have properly identified. Our back garden has a few borders, a pond, some pots, a greenhouse (huge bonus!) and a single raised bed I made myself early last year to grow veggies in. The first few attempts weren’t massively successful, and as I’m now (early March 200 
about to start sowing seeds for this year I thought I’d start up this new blog to record how things went.
As I’ve had much less experience of the non-edible side of gardening than I have growing veggies, I shall also be recording such things as my irregular ham-fisted pruning of our wisteria before it actually invades Sam (our son’s) room through his window, whether I’ve actually killed the tamarisk tree in our front garden by chopping it back too far last autumn, my continued battles to keep the neighbourhood cats from using my raised bed (and veggies) as a toilet and sun bed, and also my currently futile attempts at enticing birds and other wildlife to share our tiny space with us.
Oh, and I’ve got a wormery, so there may be posts about worms too.
