Today we finally completed the purchase of approximately 1 acre of paddock land to the rear of our house. We are going to turn this into a dream garden, the likes of which the RHS will swoon to see! Actually, as I have the horticultural skills of a house brick and Julie is the Harold Shipman of the plant world, things might not go quite to plan! We're going to record our highlights, low lights, successes and failures as we move through the life cycyle of a garden, sharing the fun times and the disasters with anyone who is interested.
First things first, we have to invest in some manly bits of gardening equipment, namely a brush cutter(which Julie thought was something foxes used for manicures)and a lawn mower (I of course insist on a sit on, but she who must be obeyed has other ideas!). Any tips, hints or suggestions before I spend a fortune this weekend would be most welcome.
We'll take lots of photos (once the rain has stopped)and will try and keep as up to date as possible. One of our first tasks is to re-build a section of classic Yorkshire dry stone wall - how difficult can that be!
I think this is going to be the start of something big......
