Love the Garden
We’ve lived in our house for over two years now, we were fortunate when we moved in that there were no major jobs needing doing to the interior. Unfortunately the same could not be said for the garden (front and back) though not a jungle they were definitely a little unloved shall we say, and I’m ashamed to say that they remain so.
You see we meant to work on the garden during our first summer in the house but the weather was so poor we barely made a start. Then last year we got fired up, we bought tools and some gravel, I think we may even have cut the grass… and then we decided to go to DisneyWorld, and well, time and money ran away from us. So this year is the year, we’re absolutely determined to start loving the garden and now with Daisy’s arrival we have more incentive than ever. I’m imagining long summer days gardening with dog and child lovingly frolicking, followed by warm summer evening barbecues (do these days exist, or is that just the movies?).
Out the back we need to empty the pond and refill with soil to make a nice vegetable patch. We want to move and paint the fences, replace gravel and provide the grass with some ‘lawn care‘ at the moment it’s merely serving as Daisy’s toilette…poor lawn. We want to re-establish the patio that is cowering under the weeds and maybe even plant something in the borders?
Love the Garden is an online treasure chest of gardening info from lawn care to growing your own, they even have a gardening blog. I may well subscribe, at least it’s a start!

I've been blogging for four years and write about anything and everything that takes my fancy.

Well the way the weather is going there will be little chance of getting into the garden anyway. Our lawn is a layer of frost at the moment, has been for some time, but come summer we’ll be out there again. The lawn is the only part of our garden that *is* well cared for. It’s the weeds around the edge I need to make time for!
that’s quite a list of things to get done! I’m thankful in some ways that our garden is under snow for so many months of the year. out of sight out of mind and all that.
I like to think of it as an ongoing project Heather, less pressure to finish
I think you could really get into your gardening. I love it now, having been resistant at first and being forced into it, really, by wanting to make a nice space for the children. Now I really enjoy it. You could plant some lilly bulbs or something with Erin for the summer x
I hope so, I think I just feel quite daunted by it at the moment.
