When I took part in My Garden Right Now back in March, my garden was all in pots as we were about to move house. Well, we have moved house, but as we are renting for a year, most of garden remains potty!
Because I have the chronic illness ME, which hasn't been good in recent months, I don't have much energy to garden. I needed to set up my temporary garden in a way that made it easiest to manage. I've done this by laying down some permeable membrane, topped with woodchips/bark, in one section of the garden. This keeps most of the watering, an energy-consuming job, confined to one area. When we leave, we will lay down some turf to restore that area to the way in which we found it.
I also have a small display area for my alpines.
So that's my temporary garden right now.
And finally, this is me in my slippers. Coz sometimes it's just nice to wander around and enjoy the plants in the garden, before heading back to bed to rest again.
Thanks to Michelle for continuing this project, this time as part of the Chelsea Fringe. Visit Michelle's blog for links to other gardens right now. And check out the hashtag on Twitter: #mygardenrightnow
