The start of the Green Journey

8 comments

I have been off work due to Epilepsy for a while, this has given me the time to get more serious and confident about gardening.

Garden -

- Approx 15ft wide and 35ft long.
- 2 sections – Front/1st – Lawn, shrubs and flowers. Full sun
Back/2nd – Mess! Shed, shrubs,
some partial shade.

Tasks completed so far (April and May) -

- cleared a load of the over-grown shrubs and weeds from the front section of the garden.
- cleared metal poles and other mess, from previous owner, in back section.
- trimmed bay tree and other plants/trees/shrubs in second section.
- planted seeds – peas, carrots, poppies, sunflowers, stocks.
- window boxes complete with beautiful flowers from the local charity nursery, run for disabled people.
- Bought lots of plants from the charity nursery – herbs, sweet peas, jasmine, lots of flowers.
- Created my first little flower bed – chocomocha cosmos, violas, red and purple verbena – lots of others that I can’t remember right now – will add to the ‘My Garden’ bit.

Now to plan what I’ll do with the garden to make it mine.
