Following Jerry’s post earlier. I live on a boat so don’t actually have a garden, but I do have my no-dig allotment. My grandchildren call it Nanny’s Secret Garden and always enjoy ‘helping’ me out. It’s one of my happy places 😀

Hey PurpleAlf, this looks a wonderful secret garden to me as its got everything so as well as productive it looks a very pretty and peaceful place to be and enjoy. It sounds very romantic to me living on a boat so lucky you and thank you for posting this. 😊

Thank you Jerry. It is all doing well and is very peaceful (when the grandchildren aren’t running round!)

I'm very jealous of your allotment. I hope you're getting a very abundant crop this year! Oh and if you've anything going spare, feel free to send it my way ;)

Just getting to the point of not keeping up with the courgettes - where shall I send them? 😀

Ooo, I do like a courgette! I think this is around the time my work colleague brings their excess into the office for us :)

Hi PurpleAlf

I like your Grandchildren's description of 'Nanny's Secret Garden' - nice that you have a Happy Place, and enjoy your no-dig allotment. Thanks for sharing the photo of it - it looks great!

This is very lovely and a fantastic idea to live on a boat. I had a neighbor who owned his own boat and would go sailing for a few weeks. He eventually moved, but he took his boat and had his daughter join him on the boat once he was settled in the new place. I actually haven't thought about it for a while, so thank you for sharing this with us, PurpleAlf . :-)

Lovely story Activity2004. We have been living on the boat for 10 years and love it 😀
