Do you spend much time out there or is it a wreck that you're afraid to tackle?

Pleased to say I don't have one any more but I've compensated with things in pots.

The bamboo is growing at an alarming rate.

I had a lovely Buddleia that attracted butterflies in my garden. I'm not fond of lots of little bedding plants in rows. I like bushes and roses especially

Our garden is lovely and secluded, which is a bonus on a day like today for a spot of naked sun bathing.

Love looking at it (our garden attracts a load of wildlife) but never really go out there. The back door is jammed and you can only get to our garden by going out the front and around the house to the back, on a path that goes through the neighbour's gardens.

We pay a local gardener to maintain it but I only really go round once a month or so to stock up the bird-feeders or to clear out old egg shells from the nesting boxes when the blue tits have left.

I find gardening difficult due to my arthritis so have a gardener. But I do love sitting out on the deck enjoying the garden. As I am now with a cold beer.

And the decking is in the shade so no worries about getting burned.

For years the last 30 ft of the garden has been a wildflower conservation area - but no more.

It's been cleared and covered.

What to do with it now???????

Titz Towers, North Notts

I used to grow my own veg until I changed job and found I'd not got the time to devote to it. I've now grassed it all over and hate it. It's just a green desert. I want a mower I can sit on. Not because the garden is big, it's tiny, but it just looks more fun than messing around with a flymo. I also get to chase the local urchins up the road with it, too.

Mine is a wreck now. I use it to hang washing and thats it. My grass is so long and s grown up taller than my child.

I hate strimming though. It goes through me. It needs doing before I can cut it though

London

Spent about £5,000 on decking, York stone, fencing, shed, planters, furniture etc with the intention of enjoying it. Had breakfast out there once, and a drink in the evening, once.

The shed is full of every garden equipment, still in mint condition from when I did the garden eight years ago: I paid a gardener twice a year to cut the grass, the borders with the intention of using it...nope, it looks pretty through the glass doors.

However, himself loves gardening and gadgets. He's started a compost heap, discovered a barbecue under the vines, has also put the gardener out of a job, so I may just start to use the garden.

I dont have a passion for gardening but I do keep my garden tidy and keep the trees trimmed and the border flowers and shrubs tidy.

I cant stand long grass, I like it very short and green. I throw grass feed on it now and again.

I wouldnt dream of leaving the garden long and overgrown, it would look terrible and make your house look scruffy.

I do sit outside reading on nice days, I never eat outside tho

I've planted veg for the first time this year. Not sure how fast they're supposed to grow. Pulled a radish up the other day as the leaves were really big, but the radish was doll sized, so I put it back in!

Are you a grower or a show-er? Im both, as love cultivating and also letting others see my jungle. The odd sub has been made to do hard graft, as I like doing the light and fluffy stuff. I also do the occasional gorilla gardening, planting things in ground that isnt mine.
