Gardening transformation!

Our garden is an absolute nightmare, when we moved in it was completely overgrown and the plants are horrible...thorny, excellent at self-seeding, an ivy-type plant that winds around everything and grows back in the blink of an eye...nightmare It turns out that the garden was supposed to have been tidied up before we moved in, and the people were supposed to come do it last week, but they didn't, so whilst the weather's nice we decided we'd de-weed it all again and this time try and keep them away!

First some before pics



Geraniums were EVERYWHERE! I think I liked geraniums once, now I never want to see one again!







And after...it's not quite done yet, the bottom few bits still need sorting, but the worst is over and we're restoring order



We sprayed animal friendly weed killer everywhere, after pulling and digging up all that we could, then put pebbles down





The bit on the bottom right is going to be a root vegetable patch, we need to pull all the weeds around Lenny's run and sort out the very bottom, but it certainly looks a lot better



And this is what a certain someone got up to whilst I did all the hard work!!

Oh god I gardened like crazy today and think I've pulled ever muscle in my body!

My nana and mum took me and Edge around all the garden centres nearby and advised plants etc, then I lugged it all down to the garden and did everything down there. Edge had a really bad headache so I banned him from doing anything strenuous. I have no idea how I managed to get those two giant flagstones down there, as me and Edge struggled to lift them last time!!

So yeah, I paved all over where Lenny's run was, and put some potted plants right above where he's sleeping. In the future I want a huge potted olive tree there, and an ornamental rabbit too, in his memory



You'll have to excuse how grubby the brand new paving looks It was raining all the time I was out there...the soles of my shoes were so covered in mud, it was about an inch thick and I was sliding everywhere! Hopefully the rain will clean them off, not that I'm wishing for more rain!!
