A BEGINNERS GARDEN


as some of you may know, my mum is an avid gardener, and has the most beautiful garden ever. this year i've decided to follow in her footsteps and try, i repeat try, to take some pride in my own garden. when i moved into my house 2 years ago, the only plants growing were stinging nettles and the previous tenants had decided to have a bonfire smack bang in the middle of the lawn, it was an absolute tip!! i wish now i'd taken some before and after photos, but at that time i hadnt even heard of a digital camera and never owned a pc or heard of blogging lol! this year i've pulled my finger out and started on my garden. ive painted the fences, dug out some borders and planted some flowers. with a little help fom my mum of course lol!

im so pleased with the results and its a pleasure to sit in my garden now. im just waiting for summer to finally arrive so i can laze in the garden with a glass of wine and admire my handy work.
