Spring projects

Have you started any spring projects of late?

I felt really depressed over the winter, it seemed one of those tiresome endless winters to me, where spring feels like it’s never going to come. But I feel brighter now seeing the sun again and the flowers starting to grow in the garden. I walk outside and everything is bright and alive again, that’s something for me to smile about.

My home has fallen in to a forgotten and abandoned state, inside and out, due to my own lack of motivation, can’t blame anybody else other than myself. Some days I just can’t muster up energy to do a lot. But since spring and the brighter weather I decided to get out in the fresh air and try to start some spring related outdoor projects…

So I decided to clear the garden up a bit!

My progress over this weekend, clearing fallen trees, and ivy off the stone wall.
Sadly the ivy has damaged the wall, some of the stone came off with the ivy, I will try to work out how to fix this. Today I want to cut the grass, if I can get the old mower to start up lol.

I got it from this….

 

To this!

Very pleased.

I’m looking forward to seeing/hearing about your own projects.

  • Looking good and it feels good I think to get things like this done or underway, nice its outdoors too. I'm not a gardener myself but do like to get outside when I can, mainly walking. No specific projects apart from hopefully selling the house! Hope you keep things going!

  • Thank you. It does feel good, being outside and busy, tiring after though. Sadly I’m not much of a gardener, my mum was, she had the garden looking beautiful when I was little. I used to sit under the hedges and read on nice days, doing the garden and seeing it clearer has brought back nice memories for me. Good luck with your house selling! I hope it all goes through smoothly for you Slight smile

  • I'm tidying up and refurbishing a couple of flower beds and turning the veg bed into a fruit patch, climate change means my veg get hammered by strong and salty winds, but fruit does really well, so I've got some dwarf fruit trees in and some raspberry, blackcurrant and redcurrant bushes in and an enlarged strawberry patch.
