Tag: Gardening

I’ve been taking a bit of a break from the online world (well apart from checking out twitter on my phone & checking my email only twice a day.) Where have I been I hear you ask? Well I’m glad you did.

It’s been glorious weather here for the last few days so Miss K & I have been out gardening (while hubby & the FIL have been building us a new gate)

We started off with with the garden near the mailbox.

This is what it looked like just after we moved in and we weeded and redid the whole garden. Then it kinda got left and got overtaken with weeds *sigh* This is what it looks like now (I’ve added another 2 plants since this was taken)

Then there is the little side garden which was going to be a rose garden but I decided the other day to turn it into a succulent garden for all my little cacti that needed repotting.

and I also ended up doing the garden beside the driveway. So I’ve been a busy little garden bug.

And then yesterday it poured!

Hopefully this weekend it will be nice again so I can do a bit more. Gotta love the warmer weather, so you can get outside and do things. Miss K is loving it!

The first of our tomatoes is nearly ready (yum)

and our capsicum is doing ok

still sore but I’m glad the gardening is done 🙂

yup I’m a little sunburnt. fortunately just on the arms. spent the day gardening today. the front yard is starting to look really good. put in two of the new plants we got for Christmas from the in-laws. Removed a tree or two & added a new garden bed for the roses I’ve got in pots. Gotta remember I don’t need to plant everything in pots now – we’re not moving. 🙂

So here’s my pics for today – getting the last of the tree root out

and what it looks like after planting some new plants Still no scrapping yet. Might try & do some 2morrow.

Okies off to do something relaxing. might play the sims 2 for a bit & then get an early night.
