Once upon a time there was a garden that was doing its own thing. The Gardener had been too busy with many Very Important Things, and like an unruly teenager, the garden was running wild. There were nettles and brambles all over the place, parts that couldn't be entered without a machete, and not much in the way of flowers, fruit or vegetables.
Then the Gardener decided that actually, the garden was important too, and made a start on restoring some of its former glory.
The plan
Start on the area surrounding the house.
Photos from winter 2010. Since then, the pond has been filled in and everything has grown a lot.
Some of the weeds have been removed and perennials put in the old pond area. This needs to be completed before winter 2013 sets in.
Here's a view from summer 2004. Looks much better!
If it stops raining tomorrow, the rest of the plants can go in, and perhaps a bit more of the weeds and ivy can be pulled out.
