I love my garden - I have been working on it for about a year. I have turned it from just a patch of lawn to a habitat for animals. I use mainly native plants, alongside herbs and vegetables and some fruit trees. It still has a lot of growing to do, but already we have loads of native birds and insects hanging around. I get so excited when a new species of bird visits!

We are working on building a deck and a pond and some other structural things at the moment, but when its all done I will post some pics.

I, too, am planning on starting some plants from seed this coming spring - I tried a sunflower last season, but the plant I got wasn't quite the towering, giant flower I expected - it was about 6 inches tall, so, umm, I guess I did something wrong!
