I wanted to keep it up but I was working two jobs whilst going to school and it fell by the wayside. In fact, yard work of all sorts fell by the wayside and my yard got badly overgrown. Ultimately I ended up mowing over the old garden just as if it was another piece of lawn. I drove past the old house last summer to find that the garden had gone wild and that the whole back third of the lawn had sprouted up with flowers. The new tenants seem to be mowing around that bit and just letting the flowers grow wild. <strong>Lifecruiser: Actually a bewilded garden can be one of the most lovely things there is. Some people are doing that with purpose over here - leaving a spot in the garden with high grass and seeds with summer flowers. Very lovely sight.</strong> A house I rented for a few years had a flower garden left over from the previous tenant.

I just want to get lots of plants that bloom year after year and all I have to do is prune them up a bit. It would be nice if they attracted butterfly's and hummingbirds! Hubby and I haven't started a new compost yet but have plans for one! We are still figuring out the suns path in the yard. We have lots of trees to contend with ours and the neighbors! <strong>Lifecruiser: Yes, that would be absolutely fantastic Debbie. No harder work han that and yet with a stunning garden :-) Oh, in my dreams..... *sigh*</strong> Lots of thoughts in this post!

It's really a big work! I actually I have a big garden but it's too big that's why I want to sell my house and by another one with a small one!

But if you have a small one with all things you say I'm total ok! With a little imagination and work you can create a little paradise! Hope you will visite me on my space! <strong>Lifecruiser: Of course I will visit!!!!! Yes, ideal is a smaller garden or otherwise hiring a gardener... *s* Ah, so your Pierre also like cooking, very good choice says this food monster ;-)</strong> A garden, yes but a small!
