My garden next Marie.
Simply stunning Marie, do you do homers
What's a homer? You mean as in 'Simpson'?
I'd always dreamed about travelling around in a camper helping people with their gardens.
A lady in Aberdeen desperately wanted me to go up and help out with hers a couple of years back.
She'd bought a few plants from me, but unfortunately I couldn't find the time to get away.
I'm overdue a visit down to Ral & Izzy's place to check out their garden. That's just for me to cast a critical eye over his work to date(!) whilst consuming craft beer and grub on demand as payment for my expertise... be afraid @izwozral, be very afraid...!!!
(no removing of man-eating manhole covers, mind! - poor old @Pauljenny )
Unfortunately I'm limited in what I can actually do now physically (at least over any long period of time), but got no shortage of ideas when it comes to design and planting
One of our (brave!) Scottish members has already been in touch about what they should plant in a specific area on their property.
I haven't made any suggestions yet, but got a few ideas in my head and low maintenance is big on the agenda.
One thing you can't have is a garden interfering too much if you're a serious motor homer.
Also not everyone is a mad-keen gardener, or wants too much work to do once everything is planted up.
There are loads of great ways to make really high impact with low maintenance.
BUT! - there is no such thing as a NO maintenance garden. That's called concrete, decking, flags or tarmac!
Even 'low maintenance' gardens require a little bit of work, even if it's only once or twice a year.
It might be nice to do a 'garden advice' tour round Scotland in the future, who knows?
Me tooVan ready and on the starting blocks.View attachment 84007
Wow they are badThat’s me ready to go. Had to do discs and pads all round and replaced the seized nsf caliper. Brakes really do suffer when your van is not getting used so before heading off after being parked up for a while give your van a good run and a look over to make sure things are ok especially your brakes.

I like the idea of the blue circle garden.
