I Wish Someone Had Told Me.....

Don't half kill yourself trying to do it all at once!
It's amazing how much you can get done by just nipping out for 10-30 minutes at a time and it really adds up over a few days and weeks. The most important thing is to make a start and then keep on keeping on, little and often.
Oh and make lists! I love a list.
I list all the jobs I need to get done no matter how small, it feels so good when you cross things off and you've only spent a short amount of time outside.

It doesn't matter how many water butts you have, they are always full in winter when you don't need them, and empty in summer when plants are wilting before your eyes.
