When we first moved in to our house four years ago, I was totally overwhelmed about where to start working in the garden. Our 'house yard' was about an acre and there seemed to be so many things to do, that I didn't know what to do first. To deal with this, I started writing an annual list of things to do, prioritising them and giving myself some deadlines. It worked a treat and stopped me from doing a little bit here and a little bit there.
As we enter our fifth year, I've found that the jobs list has slowed down (thank goodness!). There's still plenty to do but nothing seems as urgent, and we now like to spend some time enjoying what we've done instead of working every weekend.
So this year's list is done and is sitting on the fridge.
Here are our projects for 2012:
1. Build a chicken coop (Jan - March)
2. Build stairs at the side of the house (April - June)
3. Put in pathway to shed (July - Sept)
4. Build awning on side of shed (Oct - Dec).
Wish us luck!
