Garden Update!

Watering soil and the finished product!


The side garden- not sure what I am doing here yet but the garden behind the carport is where the pumpkins will go eventually.

My inspiration for the new 'love shack'!

Hi Ref!

Well, I thought you would like an update on our vege garden- it is finally finished and we have planted the seeds! Hooray! Fresh veges in abundance, come to me! We have planted pumpkins, brocoli, rocket, lettuce, coriander, chives, beans, tomatoes, beetroot and carrots. We have also figured out some other areas that we can put more vege seeds and are thinking of doing a big pumpkin garden behind the carport- can never have too much pumpkin in winter!

While pottering around in the backyard, we have also come up with more plans! We have moved all of the tools from the magna into the laundry so that we can take the car to the wreckers. We are then going to turn the carport into an outside dining area, reminiscent of the shack in airlie! Well, shack in airlie, cross the piture shown above. I will, of course, keep you 'posted'.

So all in all, our weekend was productive. Not only did we make lot's of progress on the backyard, but we also tested the waters of garage sales. What sweet waters they are. I didn't, stupidly, take photos of our absolutely fabulous buys but will be sure to tomorrow. Needless to say, every weekend, John and I will be hitting the garage sales. He loves it too! I certainly suggest you look into this too. Sooo good and rewarding!

Love you lots ♥sj

Getting you up to Date b)The Garden

Dear Ref,

I just wrote you a really long 'get up to date on my garden' (eerrrm..?) and I don't know what happened but it was lost! So now, it is going to be garden speed dating.. See pics for detail.

The Vege Garden- Is where the pine sleepers are. I started digging it out on Sunday but because we had so much rain last week, it was just water underneath so have to wait till the soil dries out.

Back Left Garden- While I couldn't dig up the vege garden, I decided to busy myself with the other areas of the garden that I didn't really like. This was the one I least liked so I took out the tall Alexandra palm and we gave it to a guy at work and moved the two cane palms. I don't know exactly what I am going to put there instead just yet, but glad to see where it's going.

Car Port- We are going to turn this into an undercover area. Johns tools are all currently in the magna, which needs to go to the wreckers. Once we have built a tool shed under the house, moved the tools in there, taken the empty magna to the wreckers, we will be able to start on the carport.

Garden along right side fence- This also got an overhaul yesterday. Every fern I saw, I took out. No more ferns. Not sure what is going here yet either.

Balcony Garden- Has been reserved for my succulent growing purposes and also my chilli and basil plant.. I have lots of little succulents now so when you visit, I will be able to give you some!

Love SJ ♥
