We are lucky that we have a very big garden, although keeping on top of the grass cutting is near impossible and our poor unloved garden hasn’t had any attention for about six months. So, you can imagine how long the grass was, how many weeds there are and how hidden any plants that have actually bloomed are.

Anyway, with a lot of help from the children, and then family over the weekend, we have made a good start. A lot of sweat was shed and I may have briefly had a hatred for the colour green but the transformation has begun. Little M had great fun getting stuck in, he had been desperate to give his new beautiful gardening set a Christening.

  9. It’s wonderful when you start to get it back under control and even better whe the whole family helps…my boys are good at starting to help but like their father when it comes to weeding they seem to rapidly go off the whole process!!!!

  11. Our garden definitely needs doing. We have a really big one too, but it’s very neglected ;(
    Middle son does mow the lawn though 🙂

  15. I’m so blessed that my Dad comes and helps me with mine, I hate grass-cutting and would rip the lot up if it wasn’t for Stella! So sweet that everyone got stuck in 🙂

  18. Ah bless, what fun to take a new gardening set out and get it all muddy. Looks like a great time was had by all (perhaps, not the weeds?).

  19. I love that everyone helped out (and especially loved seeing Little M doing his part! Such a doll). Yard work is always so overwhelming. We’ve got lots that needs to be done as well. And I’m exhausted just thinking about it all.
