Another "small" garden my garden would be lost in!

The May issue of The Simple Things has an article about a "small garden in Kent: proof that you don't need masses of space to have a productive patch."

It is a 150 foot plot - so well over twice as long as mine. Mine is a thin garden, presumably this garden is wider as if it was a long ribbon of a garden it would, I think, be mentioned. So the house is obviously wider and probably detached.

The only guide to real small gardens I've come across is "Big Gardens in Small Spaces" by Martyn Cox which I got when I visited his garden when it was open here in Waltham Forest - and it is less than half the size of mine.

Plum trees

Pleased to see my plum trees have buds on. They came as small, bare, rooted sticks and I stuck them into small pots and kept them by the house.  It seems the bad weather over Christmas hasn't harmed them.  Hope we don't get another dose of snow/ice. I will plant them into bigger pots in the spring.  Martyn Cox in "Big Gardens in Small Spaces" says that plums are one of the plants that sulk into pots, but these are supposed to grow only a foot high and weren't hugely expensive, so I thought worth a try.
