This has been such a busy weekend in the garden for me – no longer could I stand the disheveled look and the hanging, overgrown bushes. I had the energy and the will-power to get it right! With my boots and gloves on, I got out the lawn mower, edge trimer, wheelbarrow, sheers and spade! The neighbour was thunderstruck! She could not believe that I did it all single-handedly! I even had time to fetch more apricot pips and a new (old) bench that was given to me by my best buddy! Thanks for the new addition to my front garden – it stands proudly and awaits friends to come and rest awhile!

I absolutely love it – it fits perfect into my style of garden. Thank you again and we both wait for your next visit!
The front garden is looking good – the one Leopard Tree had a burst of growth this summer – the other always seems to be 6 months behind!

I am exhausted but pleased with the clean up! Now I need to feed the garden. I have placed an order for Neutrog (organic fertilizer). I have found it the best and gives my garden a burst of new vooma! Can’t wait!
Happy gardening xxx

I like how you cleaned up your garden. The bench fits perfectly into it!
You are an inspiration…I am awaiting the time when my garden is free of winters grip so it can be worked…
Looks great Barbara! I wonder what is going on with tree number two?
The bench looks fabulous! And I love the gaura growing through the gravel. It is always so satisfying to clean up the garden a bit. However, it sounds like you did a LOT in a little bit of time!
