I have 3 gardens plus a large walled orchard and walled patio!
I will start in February when I’m fully well with the hacking back, I know it’s probably the wrong time to do it but I’m will to sacrifice the loss of blooms etc for a year . I also have a fushia bush that is ancient needs a good seeing too so I will probably start there

I have got quite a few new shrubs and saplings to pot on into 20 and 35l tubs, including a mimosa which is already in a 50l tub ands going into a 100l tub. brambles need cutting back all around the garden ansd the tortoise pen needs a general tidy up. My seeds (potimarron squash and specialist runner beans and peas among others) were boughtearly ands are in store ready to be planted. Going to late plant peas again this year as I had such an excellent crop last year. I use pea Terrain as it is bred for succession planting and the flavour is excellent. My garden smells delicious at present, mimosa, sarcococca, winter jasmine, petasites, viburnum and mahonia are all in flower and there are loads of buds on the camellias and the christmas roses....daffs are well up and garden hyacinths are just showing bud tips. Given the hot dry summer, a good showing so far.
Tilly I could but when I have enquire in the past the amounts quoted are eye watering.
I figure if I do a little each weekend then it won’t be so bad.
It will help if I can buy a replacement charger for the hedge trimmers that would save a fair amount of time.
The hardest and time consuming is taking it all to the dump

No plans as such, more optimistic aims, it all depends on weather, energy, finances. I've a very tall holly that needs reducing and I'd love my cryptomeria cloud pruned but I couldn't do it myself and it would cost a fortune to have it done/maintained professionally.

Other than that I'll be happy with good health and weather so that (with a little help sometimes) I can keep up with it.

Have two, possibly three gardens to redesign and part build this year. I am looking forward to it as both are predominantly for wildlife. One is huge and will mostly be slash and burn and then some replanting the other is a complete rip out and start again. If I take on the third they want pretty flowers and a lawn. I think I am going to be busy....
