The Garden - Little Shop of Horrors

A peak at the shed that is no longer




Judging by the rest of the house, it won't be a surprise to see the garden is completely overgrown.  At first we thought it would be as easy as hiring a strimmer for a day or two and just chopping down the overgrown shrubs.   As with every other hurdle so far, this was simply not the case. 


Mr V spent days burning shrubs that had grown over the patio and managed to successfully clear some space but then we discovered that this wasn't enough. At the back of the garden there was a lot of work to be revealed...







We called in some wonderful help on a very cold November day (Thanks MM) and discovered that the garden wasn't just overgrown and in need of some TLC, it was completely taken over by plants that had roots so big that it took two grown men to carve through them all day.   The plants had wrapped themselves round brick walls and fences and even pushed their way through the bricks and mortar.
