Welcome!

Welcome to Matt's Patch. The aim of this blog is to be a kind of diary of all the activities that we go through making our garden into a place to be enjoyed by all the family. Hopefully it will also be somewhere I can make a note of the things we learn along the way.

We moved in to our house in the Midlands in September 2008 and over the winter we have not had much chance to do a lot in the garden. However, now that the snow from a month ago is just a memory and the weather is beginning to warm up slightly, things are on the move. The sap is definitely rising!

We have a lot to do and it will take a good while to do it. There are lawns on all sides of the house, and several beds and some large trees on the boundaries. Oh, and a greenhouse that I think is great but Mrs. Matt is not too keen on.

So this blog will document all that happens in "Matt's Patch" from cutting down trees, turfing lawn and growing vegetables.
