Now those of you who have been to ‘Chez Hunter’ in recent months will have noticed that our garden was beginning to resemble the deepest and darkest of all the jungles. Seriously, the grass was chest height and the tiers which split the grass area and the patio directly outside our french doors were totally overgrown.  We are so lucky to have the space that we have in the garden, and its potential is vast, but it has become such a headache, danger and nightmare over the past year.  Having decided that enough was enough, and prompted by the warm weather, we decided to take the plunge, and admit that we just weren’t going to get anything done, and consequently, I contacted two guys who had recently done some work for some friends of ours.  They came today.  And oh my goodness!  I got home from work and was so overjoyed with what they had accomplished in just one day!  Everything has been cut, cleared and cleaned, and we are now left with a usable (if a little bare!) space that is ready to be a blank canvas for us to transform.  They have become my two new heroes!  It was such a brilliant end to the day, and has really put a smile on my face as it has made me feel like a huge weight has been lifted, which may sound dramatic, but you all know what it’s like when something is hanging over you.  So now all we need is a plan of what to do next!  It’s definitely the minimal look at the moment, and ready for a real splurge of planting activity.  Still, it’s a great starting point, and is yet another project – woo hoo!!!  I feel another list coming on… I will keep you updated as to how Project Planting develops.
