Spring projects

Astridlora

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.

  • Spring coming does help a lot with mood. It has been a relief to get some dry weather for gardening. Last year I started a new bed for bigger flowers like cosmos as they struggled at times and needed a lot of watering in pots last year. I have managed to transplant some of my seedlings into pots. My garden actually looked a lot brighter than previous years, as I filled this bed in the winter with plants grown from mini plugs that would survive the winter and are now filling the bed with a variety of colour.
