Turns out my gardening gloves aren't nettle proof after all - ow! Still, I have a nice collection of thorn scratches on the same arm, so at least I match.
My flat - can't call it a new flat, since I've been in it 51 weeks yesterday - has a small garden. It's mostly brick, with a little bit of soil, and I've filled about a third of the brick part with plant pots so far, including an old coffee table and a saucepan stand that have been repurposed as pot stands (I live in a cul-de-sac, people dump stuff). Today I finally got around to sorting out the soil border, including ripping up thorns and branches and nettles (did I say ow? cos, ow) and hacking back two bushes. Turns out I have a hazel tree in there! That gets to stay, then I'm putting in herbs.
Also thinking about having a corner for a rabbit run. There's lots of rabbit rescues around here, so I kind of like the idea. On the other hand, I also want more plants, a space for a table and chairs, a small storage shed... so the rabbits may be a no go!
