dum dum dum dum dum

 this part of the garden is one of the most annoying as i pass it every day many times and it seems to sprout grass as soon as i turn around....or weeds....never pretty flowers lol

when we bought the house there was a bush that practically covered it but we chopped it out because it was to hard to get the letters out 

 so here's what i did today. i cleaned away the grass and weeds

found some paving stones under it all

and i intend on skipping down to get some weed mat to cover the bark

then i am thinking i might just plant some of the ferns and hydrangas i cut out of the bit i did last time

on another note whilst i was there i also went along the fence line and cut back all the tall grass or stuff sticking through the fence. when the lawns get mowed we always have some sticky out bits that are too close to cut-we should use the weed eater but i really don't like the machine so reverted to using secateurs today and sitting on my bum :> it was good because it meant i got to pull out any grass that was attempting to migrate into the garden.

 made a mess and managed to fill half a wheelie bin with it all

including all the crap that lazy people seem to throw into our yard whilst walking past...grrrrrrr

 on a sad note though i have a dead plant. my hebe (i think that is what it is?) is not looking so good. i am guessing it will have to come out. the dirt around it is also quite mouldy and seems like it is full of cobwebs...can anyone help me with what it possibly could be?

now i think it may be a bath night tonight-my back is a bit sore...uh oh :<

see ya!
