cmon, clean up your act. The time you spent writing about it on here could have been spent weeding and then you could have boasted about clearing that bit. oh, and yes, lets have some pics to prove you aren't just attention seeking.
Dontchya just love hassling someone who knows they have a problem but can't commit to sorting it.
p.s. I need a holdoay in France. For free accommodation, I could weed a wee bit
oh and also, just kidding. I'm sure you'll get to it when you are ready

One man's mess is another man's "wilderness garden". Do you mean to say you've been doing no gardening, but Mother Nature has? Mother Nature is incapable of creating a "mess". As G4 says, it's a nature reserve...or a wilderness garden (very popular at Chelsea I'm told)... or an eco-space...
Leave it as it is, and build a folly. You'll draw crowds of touristsLocation - Leicestershire - Chisit-land
Endless wonder.

I'm into the wilderness thingy here too Jardiniere!
I've not only got an eco space, and a carbon sync (whatever that is) but I'm having a recyclable garden space........saved me taking the odds and sods to the tip - I just put a few together and have bought some climbing plants to grow over them and voila.............looking for the right term, but I know it will be cool and trendyAli

Some days it's hardly worth chewing through the restraints!

My lovely little bit of France is a mess too Jardiniere, but I've given up worrying too much about it . Although it's not huge by local standards (just under 3000 sq m), it still gets away from me, and as fast as I sort out one bit, another bit becomes a jungle again. However, it does mean we have a whole range of wonderful wildlife, and wild flowers growing everywhere which lots of people would kill for. My gooseberries are probably the only ones around here that didn't get riddled with saw fly - don't think the flies could find them amongst the field grass which was taller than they were! I get a bit embarrassed sometimes when we have people round, because everyone else seems to be able to cope and their gardens are always much tidier than ours, but then again, I like our garden more than theirs and I wouldn't change it for anything. I just see it as a lifelong project .sigpicGardening in France rocks!

I like the saying A tidy garden is an unhappy garden - mine's not just happy it's ecstatic!
I know lots of people who have incredibly tidy gardens, and houses. Their children have matching socks as well
I am trying to get on top of some tidying up, but like you, as one area gets a look in, another is going wild!
Good thing I can cope with chaosAli
