Daisy sounds idyllic, would you be allowed to plant it as an orchard so you could still go and sit there? I have still got a couple of borders that I am unable to manage, they are not my side of the fence though. I need to get my sil involved but he doesn't have a lot of spare time. DD has planted some sunflower seeds with GGS and will need a space to plant them out. The plum tree blossom is out so I do hope we don't get any frost now. I wish my DD had inherited mine and OH's love of gardening but at least her eldest son has inherited his GF's genes.

Plant - what a lovely idea. Our friends who used to have a half plot next to us (ours is just a quarter) had part of it as a little orchard with apple and plum trees, and he was very good at keeping the grass below them neat and strimmed, but I don't think he could have done it if he hadn't gardened the rest of the plot. But it's worth us checking up!
Sadly since our friends gave their plot up it has been split into two and the orchard half which is parallel to our plot has gone to wrack and ruin. They've put odd raised beds here and there but not tended them, haven't pruned the trees or strimmed the grass, plus there's all sorts of rubbish lying around, including a shed piled up against one of the trees. They don't even pick their fruit. It's very sad.
