Floydie's garden project

Its not that tidy now it has a bale of hay in it ....

.

Beth made me this for mothers day



Oh and like I said that shed didn't stay roomy for long!

.thank you. But I have only showed the best bits! We still have a lot of weeds and grass to get out especially between the paving slabs!

Choose a dry still day and use weed killer on the weeds between the paving slabs, keep pets off it until dry.

Well here it is as of today, not so pretty now is it... I lost interest completely last year as felt overwhelmed and that I was just fighting a loosing battle with the weeds and grass. The weedkiller has already been out but only a few weeds have started to die back. My aim now is to just have a tidy garden. Plants will and have been sacrificed while others have been moved and replanted (to what I hope is a clear space!). So in essence time to get back to bare bones and try again..?? The front we just want to have fabric membrane down and pebbles with a few pots I think, the fence has come down so now we are just waiting for the remaining plants and many weeds! to die off.

(Mind any dog eggs I've not cleaned up yet today, oops)

















I've found that plants along the bank do not want to grow further than that front wall. Its just too dry I think for plants to grow there, and so the grass has took hold. (any ideas of what I can plant later on when I'm ready, that will grow and not die off after a year or 2 would be welcome).
Lots and lots to do and so little spare time to do it in!

Hope you've yanked that bramble out of the lovely ceanothus floydie! You could always try lavenders or nepetas in the dry area, they would look good & you could make a little hedge of them.
