Luckily I have my own house and garden, only taken me 34 yrs lol.... i know there is a law about hedges and their height, but my neighbours are pretty relaxed. I've planted a holly tree, 2 pyracanthias, unbeknown to the neigbours, but I will keep them under control
My own house I once had, Jazdean, but then my ex-hubby developed a taste for Malaysia. But if things keep going well, I'll be back in a home of my own in a few years.
I've only just started, Jazdean. But I have to say that when I dug a hole for a forsythia on Monday and on Tuesday I wished I had numbered my bones before I did that...I kind of felt alive again
Gardening certainly makes you feel alive willowkitten. Just feeling the soil on your hands and planting something that will grow
thanks Hotafan! Yeah I basically ripped up the bare garden and did a lot of chopping down. I didn't feel guilty as I know I'm improving the garden. I'm getting loads of birds already
Move to where I live, Hostafan1 and you'll find lots of gardens that simply consist of lawn. Very much like mine. But this is going to change. However, since I rent and don't own, I don't want to invest a small fortune.
You're correct, it certainly does make you feel alive. Especially when the soil has tenants lol. When I planted the forsythia I bought on Monday and found an earthworm in my hands...oh my..lol . Good job it wasn't a slug, I can't stand them.

you do right planting random shrubs!

Sorry to hear what happened! Hope you get your house soon!
That's ok Jazdean
. Worse things happen to other people.
What ever happens in life, I always find gardening a comfort

hi Jazdean.
Nice sized plot. I'm sure the trees will give lots of privacy and be a haven for birds. ( let's hope they don't cast too much shade though)
A "new" garden is a wonderful thing.
I've always favoured buying a house with a garden I don't like, then have never felt guilty ripping it bits and starting again.
Enjoy.
