I'm based in the UK, Scotland to be exact, and at the beginning of 2025, my partner and I finally bought our first home 🙂
There is a large garden at the back of the house, but I'm nowhere near experienced enough to try and tackle it yet, so I thought I'd get my teeth wet on this small strip of grass outside the front.
I spent a few hours the other day cutting the soil into cubes with a shovel and flipping it all to break up the grasses dominance (rip crocuses and snowdrops, I'm sure they'll come back). I've raked some fresh compost over the top, and now that the frosts have passed and it's hit 11° today, I've sowed some white clover seeds in.
I went out and bought some bulbs yesterday, hyacinths, irises, daffodils, tulips, allium etc., as well as some wildflower seeds that I plant to sow in April. I'm hoping to plant the bulbs today.
This is my first time doing ***ANY*** kind of outdoor gardening, so if anybody has any tips or advice for me, it would be greatly appreciated! I don't have a clue what I'm doing lol

you might want to consider micro clover, white clover is very pretty but can get taller than some people think, I found that out the hard way after getting some mis labled seeds and my “no mow” clover lawn got above my knees
