Hey! Here I am a C5/6 tetraplegic planting some Snapdragons (Antirrhinums)! It obviously takes me a little longer but great satisfaction from growing beautiful flowers! 🌺 👨‍🌾

So…the before is the top pic, and the after 10 days pic is below. It is noticeably greener, the weeds (creeping buttercup mainly) are definitely less! The treatment will continue to work, however it’s time for a mow! The treatment I’m using is MiracleGro Evergreen Complete 4in1.

This is our current project. So our lawn has been pretty neglected for the last year or so. There was that much creeping buttercup in it that we weren’t really sure what to do. We have now treated it, so we will see how it looks afterwards! This is the before pic taken the day we treated it (last Friday, 21st) I’ll update you in a few days!

Hey, welcome to my page! I’m Rob, and I’d like to share my gardening journey with you!

I’m a tetra / quadriplegic having had an injury playing rugby for Brecon RFC back in 2005. 🏉

I am a Paralympian and a Paralympic Champion, having won a table tennis gold in Rio 2016! 🏓🥇

I still play ping pong however, another big love and interest of mine is gardening and garden design.

I want to document my garden journey, whilst I share and learn with you! We grow mainly perennial flowers and we will be growing some fruit and vegetables. 📸

I live near Brecon and we are surrounded by the beautiful Brecon Beacons. I live with my wife, and we have an old puppy dog called Roger (although he is 14 years old). 🐶

Our soil here is heavy, and fertile, it is also quite soggy generally. Our garden is south facing.

I designed our garden, and no doubt I’ve made mistakes, I’m sure I’ll make more! It doesn’t matter. I love being out in the fresh air, I love working with the plants, and nature. 🐝🐌🦋🐛🪱🦔🌱🍂🍁🌹

Here I am proudly holding our first crop of potatoes that we grew in pots back in the summer of 2019!… Please like and share my page. Thank you 😊👍🏻
