Forgotten Garden

I have just finished reading this book - The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton and found it a thoroughly good read, I was gripped from beginning to end.  I don't read books often as once I get into a story I have to finish before I can set my mind to anything else.  I started it on Saturday and finished today .  If it hadn't been for having to get up for work this morning I'd have read all night until I'd finished.


My own garden, whilst not quite forgotten, has been rather neglected.  I didn't do any work in in last year and now it really shows - long grass, weeds and plants desperately needing attention.


My sunny nook which was once pretty is now inaccessible.


2 years ago it looked like this.


I bought these recently, I was attracted by the instructions - "shake the bag and sprinkle where desired".  Think I can handle that.


I'm hoping to end up with something like this...


Fingers crossed!
