It is that time of year when we all look at our gardens and wish we had done more to make it summer-ready. I know I really need to cut the grass again for a start but there is so much I wish I could do given more money, more time or a bigger garden. So, instead of cutting the grass, I thought I would share my little daydreams for my dream garden with you.
A vegetable patch
I would love a garden with space for a vegetable patch. However, I am pretty rubbish at keeping plants alive so I probably would need a gardener too! I would love to be able to grow my own vegetables. That said, I sometimes grow herbs on the windowsill but that is not the same. Homegrown always tastes so much nicer I find.
A summer house
I would love a garden summer house where I could sit and read on my own with a glass of wine. a hot tub in there would be pretty nice too if that isn’t being too greedy. It would take over our garden if we had one the size I want now though so maybe this is a good plan for when we move to Majorca one day!
A gardener for my dream garden
I would love my very own garden designer, can you imagine a life where you just ask for someone to put some lovely flowers in and then a few hours later it has been done. Obviously, I could do that myself but it would never look as nice. Besides if it is a nice looking gardener it would be a good distraction when working from home every day.
A fruit tree
A few years ago I lived in a house with a gorgeous plum tree. I would love that again one day. Once I made such yummy jam with them and enjoyed the plums whenever I wanted. It did however require a bit of maintenance as if you don’t pick up fallen fruit the wasps get them! If I had two fruit trees I would love a hammock between the two. Imagine lying in a hammock relaxing and reading, my idea of heaven!
A hedgehog living in my dream garden
Yes, I know how silly this sounds but we sometimes have a hedgehog wandering in our garden but I would love to see him/her more often. They are one of my favourite creatures and I always think it is so relaxing watching them wander across the grass. Did you know hedgehogs like cheese? I didn’t until I googled it once and then fed one some!
