I moved to Sweden from England in 2005 and had a house built the next year. Once the house was built, the garden, apart from a group of small trees, was basically a blank canvas or so I thought. I didn't have much money left then and have even less now, so everything I do in the garden has to cost as little as possible or better still be free. It's a much bigger garden than anything I've had before with lots of new possibilities. This blog is about my efforts to establish a garden in a country where I have known the temperature to sink as low as -30 C in the winter and +30 C in the summer, the winter is long (4 months minimum) and the growing season short. It's also about my desire to make my garden into a little piece of England despite people telling me this plant or that tree doesn't grow in Sweden. Some projects are nearly finished, some are just beginning and some things are general gardening jobs. I want to put my experiences here to maybe help others or at least make an interesting read.
