The cutting garden
Introduction
This area outside the kitchen door which is currently used for herbs and to provide a soft barrier
between the play area and the vegetably garden is going to be converted into a small cutting garden to grow
flowers for the house. It's to be based on the book 'Grow your own cut flowers' by Sarah Raven.
Update: The garden is now under way. There's all sorts planted now but no pictures until summer. The four
central spires are for sweet peas. I've planted lots of low-growing plants around the stepping stones and
bulbs along the paths,
