I am stating out on a project i should have began 21 years ago. When I first move in there were 15 or 20 large lilac trees to get rid of & this kinda took the wind out of my sails at the time so I ended up just mowing the rough grass 2-3 times a year which meant the garden was flatish & green but that was about it. My nieghbours all have what I call "catalogue gardens", perfect if you like that sort of thing, but not my style. I have no skills to create the garden I would like but I am hoping to pick it up as I go along. I will put the 'before' and 'in progress' photos on my profile soon if anyone is interested.
Wish me luck!
