"Thunderstorms tonight and tomorrow. My grass needs a good watering
Same here m’lady; My lawn is looking decidedly parched and unhappy. A good old downpour will see it right though  "
Indeedy. Although mine is less likely to sprout green lush grass and I'm expecting the delight of more fucking bindweeeeed.
I have some pallets to get from work to home which will be planters once I purchase the necessary tools and paint. I've got the perfect liner fir them... some old black blinds that used to be in the spare room. That'll save me a fair few quid.
Need to get some trellis netting too.
And soil.
And plants.
And grass seed.
And rubble bags.
And a hose.
And paint.
And slabs.
And cement.
Yeah, maybe a year to get it done was optimistic |

 It certainly can prove highly disheartening in the garden if one holds a vision for what it could look like against what it presently looks like. Add to this the ever and ongoing battle against unwanted growth and the aforementioned vision can seem like an unobtainable goal.
The best way to approach it though, I find at least, is to see it as an ongoing project; more of a long distance event than a sprint race.
A little bit of work at a time and with regularity will provide wonderful results and it’s truly a wonderful feeling the look upon what you have achieved thus far (even if the project is still far from finished) |

That's the plan.
Oh, I forgot to add shed to the list.
And no back gate or access so it all has to come through the house |
