-Build a Heligan'esqe giants head in the front garden.
Thinking big, eh? 😂
My garden really is quite compact so perhaps a scaled version peeking out from beneath the front hedge. I still want to incorporate a nice spray of crocosmia hair though!
I can potentially eke out some more planting space by creating a step across the width of the garden down at the bottom. I would have to lift some very heavy slabs though so we shall see if it actually happens or not!

We will be digging everything out from one of the borders and grassing it over. I can’t cope with it all. As Mick Jagger said ‘What a drag it is getting old’

Absolutely , At least I have good health, achy but healthy. There’s a lot to be said for that. I was offered a blood test when I had my flu jab, hadn’t had one for 30 years, I just know they’ll find a tablet that will help me.😀

I have some big ideas (well, big for me!) for our new garden in 2024, but I know that the sensible thing is to give it time to show me what is actually growing, and what grows well.
I recognise that a new path needs laying (obviously need a few chickens!), and particularly some paving slabs through the archway.
I know it's too late for things such as raspberry canes, redcurrant and blackcurrant bushes.
I do want to verify what fruit trees exist. What the owner said there is, and what I think there is, differ. Only time will tell.
I would like crocuses, narcissi, tulips and more to go in. Agapanthus, hydrangeas, callicarpa too.
But what do we have? That's the exciting part. And how much shade and full sun do we have? Technically, given that much could come out, it basically leaves us with a blank canvas. I want to encourage small birds.

Oh yes, and I must buy a lawnmower!
