Neglected Lincolnshire garden

Sapindus

I'm going to start a "progress" thread on my garden as well.  I've been here three weeks and planted a few of the things I brought with me because they desperately needed to be in the ground, but it's a bit of a drop in the ocean of grass!  It's about 20m from the house to the back fence, and about 35m along the back fence, but goes to a point at the North end because it's a corner plot.  Photo taken looking roughly north west.

Oooh that looks like an interesting starting point Sapindus - looks like you've got some solid plants in there already!

What is your initial plan of action? Do you have lots of gardening experience?? I have really built my confidence and experience since I moved to my current home 5 years ago.

This is a lovely kind area of the forum so please ask away and keep posting pics - I love a good picture update!!

My plan of action is: large pond, wildflower meadow, fruit, veg, herbs, polytunnel.  The photinia is going - it's in my Ugly Plants Top Ten.  So is the huge conifer, but I'll have to get someone in for that because it's tangled in the electricity lines. The photo does not show that the whole place is also loused out with horsetail.  Going to be interesting!

I'm not a photinia fan either, or  the fir [unless it's a pencil type]  so a double thumbs up from me. I had rampant horsetail too, the only thing I've found that gets rid of it is to cover it and never let it see daylight again, other than that, it's cut and pull whenever you see it or try to shade it out.

Looking forward to seeing what you do...
