I want to be growing herbs, salad and some veg by the time the baby comes and I want it to be a nice space we can use for playing and entertaining. So this weekend we got started.

It’s getting there – most of the crap (bar the weird plant in the strange pink plastic tub) has now gone. All we need now is a nice table and chair set to go with our two new sun loungers (thanks Mum and Dad.) and I will be all set for a summer of maternity leave.

BEFORE

Our lovely little London garden

The yard area running down the side of the house

AFTER

Proudly BBQing in his new improved garden – note the handy beer-can holder on the right

I’m not sure if you can tell in this photo, but all the dust, broken bricks and bits of crap have been cleared away. Next step: pressure-washing.
