Now for followers off this blog you will know that this years project has been the back garden. You can see what it looked like in April here. I think you will agree a complete and utter mess!
Well Mr L and I have been working away in the garden as hard as possible for the last month now, and we are 90% there. There are a few things that need to be done, we need to buy some black liners, and put some stones down both the fences. But they cost money, and a lot of money and have to be delivered to us. So that has not yet happened.
However we have done everything else. We have new grass, and it is growing, we have clear decking, it just needs to be cleaned. But finally, we can sit in the garden. So do you want to see it!
Here goes….
We have grass, and we have lots of it. Baba now loves the garden all of his toys are out there and he can play and just ponder about it is great fun!

You can see all of our vegetables in their pots, growing down the side there. That bit will be all stoned eventually, but the school bench is doing a grand job at the moment!

This is the part of the garden that I love most. My decking! I have always wanted decking, so Mr L put it down for my mother’s day present last year. However I haven’t been able to use it, as the rest of the garden has always been such a mess. But now I can!
Do you know what, tonight we are going to have our dinner in the garden! Do you know how great that feels to say that.
I am so pleased I love it all. Big slap on the back for us!

The garden is an ongoing project for us too. We do what we can when we can. Money too is an issue, so lots of things are made from scrap wood etc

I know thats what we are like, that is why we have school benches in our garden as we needed seats, and the school Mr L was working at were chucking them. So we got them, perfect for Baba’s little height though which is great!
