A large garden

I agree, just start. You will be surprised how much you get done. I tell everyone ours is a 'work in progress' and won't ever be perfect but I don't actually want a perfect garden.

When we told a friend that one day it would all be too much and we would have to downsize he pointed out that it is a lot cheaper to pay someone to help than to move. He had a good point.

I find that if I put on my jacket and gardening shoes and just get started on something it just seems to continue from there. But don't worry too much about it at this time of the year. It's still very early. Just do a bit as and when the sun shines. And I find it best to keep to an hour and no more. Exhaustion can get dangerous. (Thinking shears and an incident which involved a trip to the surgery)

Hi Aprilshowers I found it very disappointing when I realised I could no longer garden as I wanted and had to start cutting back on bedding and a vegetable gardening due to my limited mobility.
Not sure of your situation or if its just motivation you need? If you are fit and able start in one spot, I used to pick a bed or a particular display area and concentrate solely on that small area until I got it how I wanted.. it won't look so overwhelming if you tackle it little by little.
