We hadn’t previous done a lot with our front garden, which is a fairly narrow strip covered with stones, apart from removing the calla lily that was getting in the way of the path to the front door… and then multiple attempts to rout out all the tiny lily plants that kept pushing up from bits we’d missed. I think that’s all gone now and we’ve made a start on creating some small beds and doing a bit of planting.
There should be just enough time for plants to get their roots down and it should be looking good by next spring and summer.
