Working smarter



The first pic of of the garden I tried to weed by hand. It was that bad   Things we’re over grown and to get to the weeds you had to pretty much pull out plants who’s roots were deep 

After injuring myself hubby said he could do it with his machine. We would save what we could but it’s better to lose a plant or two than be in pain. I agreed 

So with his little machine he scraped off carefully saving bulbs and plants and getting rid of everything else 



It now looks like this. He will top it up with soil and compost. I’ll replant what I can and buy more pretty flowers to add to it 





It looks so much better. I can see this garden from where I sit so it was annoying me immensely 

I’m going to plant lots of flowers so I can admire them even on a rainy day like today 

Work smarter not harder

  1. I hadn't even notice a bed there! It will be a lovely thing to look at from your couch. Hope your back is better.

    1. It was well camouflaged. Once it’s been topped up I can start the fun of planting

  2. A clean slate is often better than a grubby one…..even if you lose a few ‘things’ in the clean up. With careful choice and planting you’ll have that area looking good by the beginning of Summer.
