Garden Ideas to Motivate Mr C!

Just thought I would share some of the images I picked up this evening whilst trawling the internet. Hoping that if I share these with Mr C I will get him motivated in helping me in the garden.





















OUR SMALL GARDEN NEEDS A MAKEOVER!

It's that time of year again when you look out of the window and the garden looks, well for want of a better term, tired!

The garden here is tiny.  We chose a tiny garden having had a massive uphill garden at our last home which would take weeks and weeks of care just so it wouldn't turn into a forest.  The bungalow garden was just right for a quick potter and to drink many cups of tea in.

We have two little levels.  When we first started on the garden they were both grass, well more like mud with a boarder of flowers around the top level and a little summer house of the other side.  The boarder has so lovely little plants that come up throughout the year.  Mrs Edmund who owned the bungalow before we bought it knew her flowers, so we will not be touching the boarder except to fill in the odd gap. The two grass areas have been changed already, well half heartedly as you can see from the photos below.

So this year I have decided that weekends will be spent pottering (it's going to need more exercise than that).  Watch this space for ideas and pictures and please please please send on any ideas.
















As you can see it really needs some tender loving care.  So now I need to make a plan and an outline of works and just get on with it.  I'll keep you all updated.

Enjoy!
