Weeding....and what a difference a year makes!

This time last year my garden was undergoing a major make-over........I was spending some time weeding over the weekend and was prompted to look back on the photos I took last year when the garden was just finished to see what the difference was to now......I must admit I didn't realise how much everything had grown!

Then......

 Now......

 Then.....

 Now......

 

I have never been a "gardener" so this is the perfect garden for me....some water now and then and not too much upkeep!  The weeds are easy to keep under control as well - a couple of hours here and there and they are gone!  I think they found a new home in the pebbled driveway though and the pebbles were being drowned in a sea of green....I decided spraying would be the best option at this stage so over Easter I did that.....then (because I am impatient and spraying doesn't work instantly) I realised that dead weeds would be just as annoying for me  to look at as live weeds, so I started weeding the driveway!  I always find big tasks are easier if they are broken down into smaller sections....a bit like climbing a hill, it seems easier if you look just a couple of steps ahead instead of at the entire hill.....so that's how I "attacked" it.......and after a few sessions it was done...a weed free driveway!  I was very pleased with it!  and it was great "thinking time"......No doubt the weeds will come back, but I am thinking I might start saving for a concrete driveway!

 

'til next time.......Lorraine
