The results of the garden competition are in.

I have received the runners up prize for 'best small front garden' and 'best housing association tenant'.  Not sure what the prize is, the ceremony is at Frosts garden centre in MK on 9th September.

I am pleased to have won something, but shame it wasn't the winner's prize!  Thanks for all the support and ideas on here.

Congratulations, Elcie.   

Any chance of an up to date photo please, as I'd love to see it now it's in its full glory  :D

Glad you did so well. Goodness knows how anyone beat your garden

Did you ever find out who took first would be great to see a picture of what won.

I was really amazed at your patch and have started a square foot herb garden at the plot after seeing yours  :D

I thought your square foot garden looked fantastic.  I would love to see how it's doing now - look forward to the new pic.

It is amazing how much it has changed.  Guess seeing it everyday you don't notice!  A couple of the squares have been changed since the first picture.  Some of the lettuce was taken out and chilli / pepper plants put in.  Also, as you can see, the lettuce has bolted but I thought I would leave it to see what happens.  And, obviously, the sweetcorn is slightly larger than it was  :)





Feeling a bit fed up today as my son's bike was stolen from the front garden (you can just about see mine in the background of one photo).  But, I guess, at least they didn't wreck the garden to do it.
