Envious of your big gardens. I'm lockdowned in a rental property at uni.
The houses in the area all have front and back gardens, but the landlords love the no fuss approach of tossing gravel all over them.
Decided to make a little flower bed. Bought compost (with groceries), borrowed some tools, dug out the gravel, folded back the plastic sheeting, mixed the compost into the compacted clay-soil beneath, mixed in some gravel for draining, planted some bee and butterfly-friendly bulbs.
Not sure if I'm even gonna be here in summer but hope it'll be a bit more colourful regardless.
