For this first post, let me tell you a little bit about myself, family and our lives.
I'm James, husband to my beautiful wife and father to our 8 year old son and 18 months old twins.
We moved into our first home properly last December just before Christmas and it has been a whirlwind ever since.
When we first moved in, the garden was pretty much bare. At the back of the house we have a long garden with a conifer hedge about two thirds of the way down with an archway shaped in the middle. On the far side the is a small area which was used as a veggie plot and lots of grass around.
Working back to the house the rest of the garden was empty except down one side where the was a bare strip which obviously has some sort of perennial plants, which we found out later in the year, were geraniums.
The front garden has a weeping willow in the centre and a couple of sorry looking roses in the bed against the walls. There is also some hydrangeas under the front window.
Apart from discovering a couple of peonies when they appeared and a lilac at the very bottom of the garden, this was all that we had when we started. I hope to post regular updates on our progress, of which there has been much already. By the twilight of our first summer, the garden is already unrecognisable from the garden we inherited. More projects are already being planned, with us looking forward excitedly to the future.
I hope you will enjoy seeing and reading about our progress as much as us.
