    Hey all, as the title says my Mum and I will hopefully be moving over to Northern Ireland to a beautiful house in a beautiful little village. Unfortunately it's been empty and neglected for a year and a half and the garden has grown pretty wild!

    I'll admit that I've no real experience with gardening, but the challenge is welcome - I'm here to learn! :)

    Welcome honey it sounds like you going to have an awful lot of work to do, get the gritty stuff done first i.e. your house because once you start on the garden you will need some helpful soul to make you endless cuppas & bacon butties! :dbgrtmb:x
