In February we moved into a new home and I posted about the excitement we all felt with this new adventure. The changes have been quite slow what with the weather and money restraints but I'm still convinced that we can make some good improvements to the garden in that time.
My plans for this year are:
- Purchase some children's outdoor toys,
- Take out the rose bushes,
- Plant new shrubs in the beds,
- Plant some fruit and veg,
- Redo the borders walls.
We have already faced some problems in the garden this year and I guess that is to be expected. The snails and slugs have easily found their way into the green house and eaten most of my herb and veg. The remaining plants were then pushed off the ledges in the green house by the wind. This meant that after two months of growing we were having to start again.
The children have loved to explore the garden, digging for bugs, playing in the sand and having water fights. I would love for our garden to be more child focused and think its a long way off yet but my first Aim is the build or buy ;0) a play house!!
We moved into our new house a bit over 2 years ago now. I would have hoped to have more things done by now, but alas... time just doesn't allow! Our main focus is in the garden too. I have been having a great time creating a children's garden.. complete with multiple little paths for running around and a "magic tree" with toadstools to sit on and lots of special dangly things. Lots of work still to do though. ALl the best with yours :)
