Major deja vu. Updates and questions! :D

Feels almost like i've made this topic before, like maybe, this time last year for those of you that remember me.

After this years rather, erm, interesting, turn of events regarding my life and living location, i'm now settled in in my new place, all safe and sound and secure, with a jammy big garden which is a complete mess, but i'm so looking forward to making it nice!

I have no idea what half of the plants in it them is, but its mostly overgrown, theres even a shed and a small greenhouse broken thingy! I 'd love to take care of what is there and i know i can make it yummy as anything ready for the spring with your assistance!

Off to take photographs now, as i got all impatient and excited about being back online with you all first and had to post this first

Hi Whiley..............
Good to see you back.......
So you couldn't live without us eh.....
How are those dam rats

 

The dam rats have multiplied Roders!

I've been a busy bee occupying my head with ratty things where other elements of my life have been chaos.

If you guys are still doing the photo editing competitions you'll have to arrange a ratty one and i'll supply the base photos I've got enough for each person to have a rat each at this point!

 

Okay, picture overload incoming...

Let me give you a bit of background, when i had to leave my last home and last partner earlier this year, it was rather stressful and sudden, and in the rush of me getting out of there and with many pets in tow, a friend of a friend came to the rescue and said i and all my animals could move in with him. I became very ill and was diagnosed with various illnesses and he looked after me ever step of the way, and is now my chappie, mineminemine, very much knight in shining armour style!

I'm now feeling much better than i have been, and its time to look at our home. Its actually his family home, he inherited it when his mother died sadly from cancer several years ago. She was very much in love with her garden, but Darren has not felt up to doing much to it, and in the mean time, it has become a dumping ground for car parts, his neices toys, rat cages [nothing to do with me, honestly!] and in that time, the green house has broken, the shed fell apart, as did the bird table, and everything has overgrown...

I'd love to know what you think i can do with it, and where to start, and whats growing, because i havent got a clue.

Firstly, the front garden...

 

Eee i love this lamp!

And the back garden...

 

Okay, so thats a lot of photos.

And, sunset probably wasnt the best time to take photos, but i was excited and i wanted to show you all!

 

AARGH. You've got a plastic table.

 

Hi Whiley, good to see you ! (I am sure you must have hundreds of the little ones by now...maybe we will see some pictures soon)

 

Nice to see your return Whiley

Looks like a project to keep you busy for some time. Have you thought about a jungle :D :rolleyes: :D

 

I know, plastic tables are spawns of hell and all that but emergancy bbq material calls

Yes Mira many many! And many many photos to follow as soon as i calm down about the garden and relocate myself to the pet discussion section :D

 

Always thinking of jungles Bananaman, but mine wouldn't come with one of you, so whats the point, eh?

 

So can anyone pinpoint what i have plantwise in my garden, or see anywhere i can start?

Like the overgrown mess spreading like wild fire in both the front and back? What is it and how do i go about cutting it back and containing to so it doesnt go mental again?

 

Seems as though I'm stalking you Whiley, but I'm not HONEST INJUN!!! Just really interested in your new garden...it looks like you're gonna have a whole lot of fun transforming it, it seems to have loads of possibilities.. Good luck! You're right, if you had another BAnanaman in you're garden you'd be in clovera
