It's been trying times on everyone, hasn't it?
With this Covid-19 pandemic, it hasn't been easy to socialise, to do anything around the place that we normally do, or to enjoy going out - especially when the government has said to stay at home.
Hey, I love to stay home.
So, what I've done is get right into my garden. I replaced some herbs, potted up some tomato seeds, told a neighbour to leave me alone (and to stop coming to my house) and I started planning what to do next in my yard this Winter.
Oh... yeah, I told my neighbour to stop coming around because she took a hack saw to one of my 6ft Jades outside my house while I was house sitting at Brighton - on the other side of Brisbane. It took a while, but she got the message - kind of. She still thinks we're friends. We're not.
Anyway, this week, I bought an arch for the garden - and I keep forgetting how big these things are! Mine is over 6ft tall and metal. I bought it for $40 at Bunnings and got another neighbour to help me move it into place.
Then, on Thursday this week, I bought what I thought (and was told was) a Jasmine; but it was from the Jasmine family. Anyway, today, I was at Bunnings where I bought a large pot, feet for the pot and a 50Lt bag of garden soil and a bag of stones (for drainage). Now, that little climber is all potted up and happily trained to the arch; and by Christmas, I'll have a gorgeously flowering creeper with pink flowers.
So, this is what I've been up to in my garden. I've also asked my landlord if he can get an awning across the back of my house... but even after the quote, I haven't heard back from him. Oh well, one step at a time I guess. Until my next post, take care and happy gardening.
