It’s about three years now since I first arrived at the Welsh Garden Project. It was a complete jungle then, having been left untouched for many years. My task has been to beat back the brambles, and help restore its former glory.

Thus, today it was immensly satisfying when one of the Ladies of the Manor harvested her first beetroot and carrots, which were planted not that long ago in a deep bed that I created in January this year.

Just look at that colour. Boodaful!
