    I have recently moved into a new house and am looking for some advice and ideas of what to do with my front garden. I have never really done much gardening before and, ideally would like to dig all of the weeds out and put down some perennials to make it look nice. We live about half a mile from the sea and there isn't a huge amount of quality soil in the borders at the moment-although as you can see that doesn't seem to be a problem for the weeds :)
    I wonder if anyone would be so kind to give me advice on what to do in terms of transforming this monstrosity step by step. I have uploaded some photos of the garden and eagerly await your advice.
    Thanks in anticipation...

      There is something wrong with the pictures. For me there are only four tiny icons with an x across each one.

        Welcome to Gardeners Corner Greenman13. :) I believe you have to write a certain amount of posts before your pictures will be allowed.

        Welcome to GC @Greenman13 :sign0016:

        I have had a wee look at your post, and tried to access the links to your photos, but I am getting an 'access denied' message. Do you have the images saved on your PC somewhere, rather than hosted by Yahoo?
