Sensible advice, as always. Putting up 6′ fencing was an early job for me to tick off my list. Watching gardening programmes and even shopping channels is a great way to learn about new products and plants. Horticultural science continues to come on in leaps and bounds.
There is always so much to learn when it comes to gardening
been doing exactly this ! Still need to modify a few features – do love my garden
I have to admit we have a gardener
It’s definitely not easy maintaining a garden with a 9-5 jobs, kids and a busy weekend full of activities with the kids. Back in our house in Hertford, our neighbours used to hate us for leaving our garden overgrown. They had a beautiful garden and maintained it regularly whilst every free time we had, we went back to London to visit family. After 2 years living there we decided to move into a flat so we won’t be judged, haha
We found a perfect house once but didn’t buy it as the garden was amazing and we knew we would not be able to maintain it
