Well, it's the last month of the garden facelift and I'm so happy with what has happened in my back yard so far.
1. The unwanted plants were pulled out and tossed - after I offered them to family and friends.
2. The shade area was sorted out; and I found plants I thought had died were still hiding out and alive!
3. I bought a greenhouse from Bunnings and built it and started growing herbs and tomatoes again!
4. When my folks were at my place to help me out with building the greenhouse, I gave them 2 Agapanthus - as promised - and Mum loved them!
5. I re-organised the garden so it would grow and look better; even put in a pathway to the back fence so I can get to the rain water gauge easily.
6. Bought new plants to replace the old, tossed-out ones to fill in spots which now lay bare.
Yep, I did a lot of work for such a small area; and now, I've just bought some cheap potting mix for $2.95 a bag to throw on the lawn to level out my wonky lawn... how cool is that? I really do think I need another bag though. But, that's okay. I'll get that and work it out as this month progresses. Once I get the lawn growing again, the garden will look lovely, lush and green again just in time for Spring and Summer.
I still want to put in large stepping stones in it, but that may have to wait until next year... I'm not sure yet. Until my next post, happy gardening!
