Rydw i'n cofio, un dydd pan roeddwn i'n cerdded i'r ysgol gyda fy mam pan welon ni dynion yn gweithio ar y ffordd. Dwedodd fy mam yn ""Maen nhw'n ehangu'r ffordd"", dwedais i (bod yn glyfar) ""Maen nhw'n culhau'r palmant"".

Heddiw dechreuais i ehangu llwybr, neu, efallai y byddwch yn dweud culhau'r ardd. Mae'n yr un peth.

Mae cornel cul a lletchwith gyda ni ar ben yr ardd, rydyn ni wedi byw gyda hi am fwy na tri deg o flynyddoedd, felly nawr rydyn ni wedi penderfynu newid pethau.  Rydw i'n garddio gyda rhaw, fforc a bwyell (fel arfer) oherwydd bod rhaid i fi dorri trwy'r llawer o wreiddiau.

Rydw i'n siŵr bydd pethau yn well ac yn fwy cyfleus pan rydw i wedi gorffen.

I remember one day when I was walking to school with my mother when we saw men working on the road. My mother said "They're widening the road", I (being clever) said "They're narrowing the pavement".

Today I started to widen a path, or, you might say narrowing the garden. It's the same thing.

We have a narrow and awkward corner at the top of the garden, we have lived with it for more than thirty years, so now we have decided to change things. I’m gardening with a spade, fork and axe (as usual) because I have to cut through the many roots.

I'm sure things will be better and more convenient when I'm finished.

Disgrifiad (Cymraeg): Newid yr ardd gyda fforc, (rhaw a bwyell hefyd).
Description (English): Changing the garden with a fork (space and axe too).
