How does your garden grow?

So the front garden bed looks a little like this... Magnolia trees and a hedge full of WEEDS! Luckily I have discovered my new hobby, weeding!

Last week I had both kids outside playing while I weeded the garden below, not a bad effort with my trusty Ikea stool.
 

This little area used to be a herb garden but is very neglected. One year we grew lillies from bulbs so I am thinking we might try again this year. It is very therapeutic gardening!

Luckily we have a large block so I'll never be short of some weeds to pull.
