About me

Hi, my name is Trefor and I am a 40 year old chef. My partner Ty and myself have had the current garden in swansea for the last 5 years. It was just over grown grass with some mini bamboo at the bottom when we moved here, but now the middle part is grassed with long narrow borders at the sides. the left hand border has mainly low to medium height bushes, inluding 2 forsythia, 1 gors bush, a long leefed loral and a red robbin. whereas the right hand border is Roses, a wall hugging honesuckle and some small shrubs including miniature ferns and conifers. at the top of the garden opposite the kitchen there is a stoned area with potted cordelines of different colours and a small greanhouse. There is also a very small pond in the bottom left hand corner. this is full of newts, has small surfice pond weed and is surrounded by a variety of vegetation including - Conifer, Sedge Grass, Ferns, and a rather large (8 foot tall) Stripped Bamboo at the rear. There is also a mature over-hanging lilac tree there. I am also growing some vegetables in a medium size plot near the house. I started growing veg last year and did rather well. I harvested 15LB of potatoes and 8Lb of carrots as well as 3 bags of yellow french beans, about 25 radishes beside the greanhouse in pots, and 2 big bowls of mini bell peppers grown on the bedroom window sill. not bad eh! this year im going for some peas, hanging basket tomatoes, parsnips, and giant 12" long radishes aswell, wish me luck, Tref.
