Well, parts of my garden are also a disaster area, hence all the heavy pruning. (The problem with gardens is when they grow back faster than you can deal with them!) And the parts I did have under control went backwards a bit thanks to around six months of mostly unhelpful rubbish weather up until the end of April.

But as the house is now mostly under control, my main focus this year is on trying to get on top of all of the outside stuff. It won't end up perfect this year, but it might end up at a point where I can spend next year doing more than just rescue work.
