I'm sure I posted on this last year but it all went wrong so I'm trying again!
The garden is a mess. I really wanted to grow some veg this year but I don't think it's going to happen because of the garden. We did hope to sort it last year but with a new baby that just didn't happen.
So my main question is where do I start! I suppose I should take proper measurements of the garden and then plan it all. However what do I do with the plants that are already in there, how on earth do I get rid of the brambles, couch grass and other weeds without it all growing back within a couple of weeks, how do I move the pond as we have loads of frogs in it but it's a small basin thing right in the middle of the garden etc etc etc.
I'm feeling a bit despondent about it all really I was desperate for a garden to grow things in and for the children to play in and in reality it's ended up as an overgrown mess that the dog poos in (she refuses to go on walks) but then I struggle to clear up after her as it's so overgrown! Would be so much easier to get a digger in, completely clear the site and start from scratch but firstly we wouldn't be able to get one in anyway and secondly we can't afford it!
So any pointers, encouragement etc most welcome!
