I must be insane (OH not too impressed either)
« on: May 13, 2011, 20:13:23 »
I'm going to take part in the Crawley Down Open Gardens on the 19th June  :)

Only one problem, my garden is a mess, got lots of plants at the charity plant sale though  ;)

Please reserve padded room  ;D

I was very bad last year. Its amazing just how fast brambles grow  >:( not to mention the bindweed and in the case of the jasmine the actual plant.

Ohh..its ok..just little selective pruning and its presentable again. I prefer gardens that are tad on 'wild' side...when everything is really tidy it looks like all the plats are offered 'on plate' for perfect view. The slightly unruly garden offers more for the eye..it looks natural, plats show more their true 'nature' and you have to really look into the the garden to discover all the 'goodies'.. ;)
'Just' pull the odd weed that you can really see and prune few bits off that come too much over the paths..and job done.. ;) And quests can either take it or leave it. If you like it and OH can cope with it..thats all what matters!

Thats one way of getting the garden ready, a deadline is a very good idea.
