Monthly Update

Woohoo I have a plan. Thankfully most of the structure is the same and still there, I have spent a few weekends trying to reclaim the patch and in all honesty it has been easier than expected, unfortunately I do not have any before photos but I have made a good dent in it although still plenty to do (which is no surprise). So my plan is:-

   

Ooo, I forgot I would like to transplant my mulberry to the fruit area near the compost bit and yes folks my fartichokes are near my butt (you juvenile lot  )

So most time so far has been spent in the back section, which is my perennial bit which doesn't seem half as impressive without the before photos. The paving slabs however were no where to be seen before so you will just have to trust me. Obviously quite a few things have not survived but whilst my seed stash has aged there is plenty of it so I should soon be able to get this back to near full. Fingers crossed.

More recently I have moved to the front/ annual section, which whilst still quite easy considering it is rather boring, so I have flitted amongst other bits hacking back brambles and trees. I am also waiting on a cardboard delivery (yes he had forgotten)

It is all looking promising with plenty to do but I am doing it and getting all excited at well so fingers crossed I keep going.
