What do I have planned over the winter?

I'm moving to Malta

Fed up of the cold weather so we are leaving the cold, damp, grey UK for the sunny shores of the Mediterranean. Keeping our house in the UK too (& my garden) & just taking a few palms to keep me happy

Seriously? Is this a move or just a long vacation?

Making new beds as the (nearly finished) conservatory has eaten into a couple and also levelling the veg patch and putting a timber border around it.

Brazil and Costa Rica.

In between, relax in the garden in the sun trap (which I'm painting black to produce more heat) and soothe my soul with the sight of the winter flowers, bees, parakeets and lush greenery when the world looks and feels crappe outside this oasis of eternal life

Be very careful jezza as there may be rats nesting in there it would be the ideal place for them, it will be nice and warm under all that or may be some mice. be careful of any broken glass or anything like that. Nice job on your hands though. Kind of jobs i like YES i do like jobs like that its the before and after pics that do it for me.

Jobs for me...apart from on mass overwintering its soil preparation for next spring for me. Im digging in two to three tons of pure horse dung and chicken dung once everything is lifted.

You will have a lot of usable garden once the wood etc as gone.

That was my first thought too - a free garden extension!

"What do you have planned over the winter?"

We are planning a bonkers topiary garden, but there is zero agreement on shape & form between Under Gardener and Management

I like the topiary at Chateau Marqueyssac

This sounds like an ideal cheap holiday. Will you have a spare room and full english breakfasts on the go, mate, buddy?

We will have a spare room but don't think it will ever be free as I expect we will have a constant stream of family members out there They are not getting a full English every morning though...

got somemore hard landscaping to do & also bamboo re jigging!, I reckon as long as you have no sasa planted you'll be fine neil, my main concern is my neigbour's large tree's are pushing up massive roots in parts of our garden!!, to me these are much more of a problem than an odd stray bamboo shoot. karl.
