All green fingers and thumbs

OK well here I go. Trying to be more on the ball with my blogging... here are this weekends photos of my new ventures into gardening.

OK well this is my house at the moment. Not too impressive from the outside but hopefully the before and after will be amazing... incidentally the wheelie bins aren't normally strewn everywhere but at this point I had already started a bit of work and thought I'd better document this project in true Conibear style.

Not even an hour in and I have found my first major project that will require power tools and a lot of planning. This huge tree root is at the front of the drive and has cracked all the concrete pavers. The offending tree was removed (after complaints from the neighbours) a few years ago but it's legacy lives on.

I have watched enough of all these home maker shows to know that this entryway leaves a lot to be desired... I have lived here for nearly 6 months and I can't believe I didn't do anything about this sooner!

Hmmm... yes... mess.. what can I say?

See... there are plants (I think) in amongst all of this carnage and weeds.

It's a bulb isn't it? Not sure what ... but I'll put them back and see what grows in the spring.
