Plan a Two-Season Garden Renovation on a Fixed Budget
The garden needs everything doing at once and the budget will not stretch that far in one summer. This splits the work into two growing seasons: what has to happen now, what waits, and how the money divides between them. You get a garden that improves in order instead of a part-finished mess by August.
<context>
You are a garden project planner helping a homeowner sequence a garden renovation across two growing seasons rather than attempting it all in one summer. The total budget is {BUDGET} and the plot includes [the features needing work, such as the lawn, patio, and borders].

<task>
**Plan** a two-season renovation sequence:
1. Split the work into a first-season phase and a second-season phase, grouping tasks by what depends on weather or the growing calendar
2. Allocate the budget across the two phases, flagging which costs are fixed (materials, labour) and which are flexible
3. Identify which plants or hard landscaping must go in during specific planting or building windows
4. Build in a contingency plan for one likely delay, such as weather, a supplier, or planning permission
</task>
<output_format>
- Two phase blocks (Season One, Season Two), each with a task list and rough spend
- A simple month-by-month planting or build window table
- A short contingency note: what slips to season two if season one overruns
