    Hi

    My names matt and i have little to none gardening experience having always lived in houses with small non-existent gardens that just needed the grass cutting... lucky I've just moved to a house where the previous owner was a keen gardener but became ill and it has fallen into a bit of a state, My plan is to tidy and hopefully restore its charm..

    So far I'm struggling to work out what's a weed !! so i have a long way to go

    Cheers

    Matt

                  thanks all, hopefully I'll get out over the weekend and take a few picture of the plants that are starting to emerge and with your help work out what to keep ! I'm concentrating on the front garden first. here is a picture of it from a good few years ago ! and what I'd like to restore it to.. It has a lovely feel to it and the old lady before us spent years tending to it before sadly becoming housebound, it feels only right to try and carry on all her hard work. Unfortunately a leaking gutter has swamped the flowerbeds and the builders before us decided to fill the beds with rubble and cut down pretty much everything but the front hedge
