Taking shape - but what shape?
[ #design, #obvious mistakes, #lawn removal ]
The first couple of months had really about taking the garden by the scruff of its neck and starting to tidy things up. By this point, I'd been making notes and thinking about things for the best part of two years and by this point I had a whole bunch of completely impractical ideas and a garden that was nowhere near that at all.
Obviously, I needed to have some way to turn those ideas into something that could be practically done, and something that I could actually start working on. In the back of my mind, I also had the idea that I didn't want to do anything in terms of ripping things out of the garden or even doing any more than generally tidying up the flower beds until we'd had enough time to see what the garden did. At the very least, I figured a year to watch the garden change and work out what was in there wouldn't be a bad idea before I started ripping stuff out.
Well, maybe not everything needed to wait an entire year.
