I'm just wondering whether you have any general good advice really...
Our garden was largely planted by the previous owners and also got a bit neglected during the first year or two after we moved in (due to new DD!). I was also trying to "take stock" a bit of what was there before doing too much.
Since then I've been trying to get on top of it a bit more and also plant some more things that I particularly like, not just what they chose. However - especially as this year seems to have been a good growing year so far - it is just getting a bit crazily full now! It is hard in some places to work out what's what, and some of the plants I'd otherwise quite like are trying to take over and elbow everything else out of their patch. There are also some things I'd like to get rid of but which are so big I'm not sure how to go about it (looking at you, ginormous scrotty snowberry...) and some I'm not that mad about but would feel a bit guilty about ripping out.
So, does anyone have any tips on how to get it a bit more under control and maybe even make a bit more space for my own favourites? Thank you!
