Plans for spring 2010

Most of these are from 2008, not good... there will be more added to the list soon I'm sure.

• Fix the raspberries
• Build bathouses
• Build birdhouses, an owl one too
• Build a compost
• Build a birdbath
• Cut the boxwood
• Cut the buddleia
• Clean up the backyard

I take a picture of these crocuses every spring and the first time it was like one flower and now…

PLANS FOR SPRING

· Remove The Devil (aka Snowberry bush)
· Make a flowerbed against the Tuja hedge (which isn’t ideal but… where else can I have a flowerbed? Need to think about that one)
· Fix the raspberries from spreading too much
· Tidy up the gooseberry
· Building bathouses
· Building birdhouses, especially one for owls so please keep your fingers crossed.
· Build a compost
· Sow rhubarb
·Build a bird bath

Project

The Backyard is a horrible mess due to no planning what so ever and the horrible evil Snowberry bush (sound so cute but it’s really not). I found this adorable green tunnel, it’s in The Poison Garden at Alnwick Gardens (so want to go there) but I don’t have space or use for a tunnel but then it hit me. Why not make a little house/hut of it? A round little secret place just for me covered with ivy? I was thinking of having it in the Backyard and I hope that I’ll get some help in the spring to get rid of the Snowberry, build a compost box (well, actually three, or at least two), replant the raspberries and the gooseberries, make some space for my rhubarb and basically tidy the place up.

If this hut/house thing happens, it will be called, Kojan.
