Care for the Garden

This post is a feature post with Compost Direct. All words and views are my own.

Gardening is definitely not "my thing." In fact I would go as far as to say that I usually completely absolutely avoid doing any gardening whatsoever. I think I used the lawn mower once and I was just like a little kid with a new toy! My reasons for this are simple; I am just actually far too busy in the house to worry about what happens on the outside! I think that one day I would love to get busy with hanging baskets and bushes, but for now - I simply haven't got the time or the inclination.

That said, Warren does get involved in the garden at times and we do have a few things growing there now like strawberries and a few herbs, which we do use. I suppose we just need to spend more time in the garden - it's all about making time I suppose. Maybe when the kids are a bit bigger we will have more time to put some real effort in.

I would love to have some decking in the back garden, with a small seating area. I would also like flower pots and beds all around the edges and maybe a wooden play house for the kids. I like the idea of being able to sit outside in the summer and eat - chill out with a glass of wine. Maybe this will be a project that we can undertake next year.

Fun in the garden!

We tend to keep our garden as a place for fun, toys and footballs! With that in mind Compost Direct have created this fun online sports quiz. I'd be lying if I said I got any of these right without guessing! Maybe you can do better than me!

Here's to fun in the garden this summer, whatever you plan on doing with yours!
