I moved from the South East to East Yorkshire in 2009. Before I came I knew nothing about this area. If you don't either, and you like wildlife, days out and the seaside, keep reading. I will also use this blog to show the evolution of my 14' x 30' garden from lawn and concrete to woodland area, wildlife pond, bee border, veg bed, container patio, and Moroccan courtyard. Too big a plan for too small a space? Watch this space. (See April 2011 for start point and plans.)

Walking in East Yorkshire - Spurn Point
My other half is on the countdown to a 16-mile charity walk taking place on Sunday 1st of May. Now, usually, he's not one for walking in the countryside, he finds it a little dull. But recently as 'training' he's been willing to try a few circular walks I have found for this area on the net.
A couple of weeks ago we went to Spurn Point Nature Reserve to walk the perimeter, which is an approximately 8 miles in total. What a fabulous place it is.....
What's it all about?
The blog that is. Well, I'm Jo, and I am a small (5'4) gardener, with a small (14ft at it's widest x 30ft at it's longest) town garden in East Yorkshire. So, my gardening is on a small scale, and 'The Small Gardener' covers me, my garden, and the type of gardening I'm doing. Clever, huh?
I'm not an expert gardener. I watch Gardener's World and that occasionally gives me ideas. Generally I use it for a 'what needs doing now' guide. Otherwise I find most of the info I need on the net. (How did we cope before the www.? We can't have had books on everything.) Or, I learn by trial and error, you can always move a plant if it's in the wrong place.
I will be using this blog to show the transformation of the garden. Hopefully I will be passing on some useful info about creating a garden on the cheap (which I believe you can do with a bit of research, and being in the right place at the right time). Plus, I will pass on any space-saving garden things I find in the shops, or online, for people a bit short on acreage like me. And, I will pass on any discounted, or just generally cheap, garden items that I find, because even if your garden is bigger than mine you'll still appreciate saving a few pennies. Everyone loves a bargain.
I will also be sharing my discoveries of East Yorkshire. Because, let's face it, unless you live here you've probably have no idea what's here. I certainly didn't before I moved up here. And I would imagine you have no inclination to visit either, because I didn't have it on my list of places to visit either.....
