I've not done a thing outside either. Hubby cut the grass last weekend though.
We had our garden redesigned last Autumn so this will be our first proper year. I waited 22 years for this!!
We have a large raised bed all down one side which is full of daffs, crocus and snowdrops which I planted last year. There are also some shrubs in there. At the back of this is a nice hedge which hubby keep very neat.
The other side is walled and has cotoneaster, honeysuckle and rambling roses growing on it.
The third side has a fairly low (4 ft?) fence which another large bed all the way along with more shrubs etc.
In the corner is our summerhouse which we love and use a lot. We have a large oval lawn which is completely surrounded by very nice sandstone pavers so we have 3 lovely corner areas where we can have chairs, benches, tubs etc. Our garden is an absolute suntrap so we are very lucky. It is also not overlooked so it's very private. There are loads of bird feeders and a bird bath and a double retractable clothes line, so it's only out when linen is!
The patio doors lead straight out from lounge. Round the back of house we have THREE sheds which we can't live without (bikes, tools, junk etc) but these will all be hidden from view. Hubby has erected the frame and then there'll be panelling and a private gate.
I am hoping it will be fairly low maintenance now because I want to sit and enjoy the garden rather than seeing jobs to do.
