No, I haven’t lost my mind entirely. And no, I have NOT decided to apply for Married at First Sight! I have a couple of projects that need doing. Home projects. I have all of the ideas, but very little in the way of outdoor ability. Or money.

Our garden is looking a little winter worn, and is in desperate need of a refresh as we head into the warmer months. I wouldn’t know a green thumb if I tripped over it. So I figure one of those make-over shows is just what we need! Nothing OTT, because we rent the home we live in … just something a little more user-friendly, with an easy to use grow-it-yourself veggie patch. The kind of garden that spiders and mozzies do not want to visit!

You all know I’ve got loads of ideas filling up my Pinterest boards, so if anyone’s keen, you can check out my ideas here and here. How adorable is that table? It’s the Murphy Bed of outdoor tables. Love it. I have the PERFECT spot for it on our deck too. Of course, I’d want to paint mine. Maybe something like this? Bonus points if you can make it with one of these in it.

No links to reality TV? Okay then, how about a cute gardener who might like to do it for free? Or in exchange for food. Yes, I did say cute gardener. I should probably have added single too. Good with his hands. Handy with tools. Actually, that’s an almost better idea than the reality TV one – although Beary is so handsome that he should really be famous!

Once the garden is done, I’ve got a little laundry project in mind too. This one I can almost do myself, just need a hand with hanging the dryer and installing a bench…
