Garden in a mess

Yep, same here.  Had a lovely walk in the parc.

It’s been another lovely sunny day here in Berkshire. I’ve been battling with brambles that have woven their way through a huge cornus during the winter.

It was lovely out there, sunshine, a clear blue sky, birds singing, primroses everywhere and a robin at my feet throwing leaf mould around while searching for food.

i have a garden someone has destroyed and the coucil wont even help level and fix a patio so i can at least make a start.

Its uneven, grassy on parts. so ive been told to rotavate it all then rake it to level the lawn. then dig up the patio and clear a square to redo neatly. but the garden has a big mud step so i need to put blocks up to stop it sliding onto the patio then redo the patio with all kinds of colored slabs and sizes. then plant grass seed and in time train the grass to be a bordered flat lawn with a basic square piece of patio to sit and chill on and put slabs up the lawn in the middle to the concrete post for washing. Then in time plant flowers and ornaments and make nice.

But has anyone a easy better idea and could even be like a dream garden i see on these pics on a low budget and self diy. im a girl medium build was athletic but injured my knee so need help anyone.

I’ve also noticed some changes in the general weather patterns, and that’s disturbing. I haven’t thought about moving South and about moving in general. It’s a disturbing sign that something’s wrong with the weather, and I don’t even know what we can do about it. Probably, we just have to learn to live in these new conditions.
I think I will not make the garden of my dreams in my backyard because it doesn’t make that much sense now. It’s starting to be cold too early, and I would rather build a small patio here. I’ve already looked up furniture for it: check it out. I think it will be a nice place to spend time even when it’s cold outside.
