...and the result...

1 September 2008

...of our gardening weekend (or should I say...Ians gardening...I was pathetic! ..it was too windy....it was too cold...I was too tired...Ian on the other hand is like a bull dozer...nothing stops him...hes oblivious to the elements...he just keeps on going no matter what!....bless him)

First some progress shots....


....then the finished product.... all planted...watering system installed... mulched...and ready to grow....I hope it grows quick now..
We decided on all natives....all drought resistant...'.survive on a teaspoon of water' type of plants...and although it looks sparse at the moment....the nursery man has assured us they will grown and cover this in no time...

It felt so good to arrive home this morning and see our home looking finished in the street....no more dirt patch with weeds.....
Big thanks to my honey Ian.... who can keep on going...long after I cant.

    Kewl! Its amazing how a little bit of garden can change the whole look of a house...makes it really look homey now ;0) I'm sure the natives will love the sprinkling of rain we've been getting and will bush out in no time...you'll have to keep us updated now :D
