I started off small this week, just potted a few tubs of pansies to pretty up the place! Im quite proud of my efforts. Aaron sat in his highchair whilst i worked away. I had a great time. Im not going to take photos of my tubs (yet), the neighbours will think im crazy.
I want a raised vegetable bed, some small trees and bushes, pretty flowering plants around the edges....ooooh the possibilities......one day, one day! I have a lot to learn yet.
Speaking of neighbours, the sun being out has been great for meeting people at long last. This street is going to be great for the kids. I met a lovely lady a few houses up who has 3 boys, one of whom will be in Caleb's class at school. In fact, already on our street alone, Caleb will have 4 classmates. Lovely! It's just like where i grew up. My sister and I spent hours outside playing with all our neighbourhood friends and i have such great memories! I love that our boys are going to have that too! Im so thankful for our new house.

I'm exactly the same! When we were living in London we lived in a flat for 3 years. It did have a private garden but as we were first floor it was quite a trek to get to it, so sadly it was very neglected! Now that we own a house I can't wait to get started on the garden. We spent last weekend trawling around garden centres. We bought quite a few violas, azaleas, fuschias and a couple of blossom trees. It feels so 'grown up' t be buying things for our garden...lol...I'm 35!
PS - Did you read in the press today that Tori Spelling is 3 months pregnant...and has a 5 month old baby? Yikes! All of my yummy mummy friends were texting last night. My best friend said 'falling pregnant 2 months after giving birth? Bet she didn't have stitches!' ;0)
You are going to love gardening now that you own your own home! Can't wait to see the "finished product" pics.
Sounds like you picked a great neighborhood for the kids. They will have great memories!
Good luck with the gardening, don't forget to share photos when your plants are more established :-)
It's so much fun having your own garden but it is a lot of work. I'm not very good at the weeding thing any more so the garden starts to look a mess towards the end of summer, lol!
It sound like a wonderful neighbourhood in which to raise the boys. I'm glad they'll have lots of playmates.
Once you start seeing your garden growing, you'll want to do even more work! It's a great hobby, and makes your yard look amazing.
