A wonderfully busy week of garden happenings too since we have been home :-).

My Honey has been hard at it on the bobcat – he didn’t stop for 3 days!














This rock wall was lowered a little as he had previously taken out some of the driveway to correct the drainage.  










Of course, the garden bed had to be lowered a bit too – look how lovely it looks now.  There are two transplanted lavenders in there (we grew them from cuttings stuck straight in the ground closer to the house) – and they have had a nice soak of seaweed liquid to help them settle in – here’s hoping they like their new garden bed.  Oh, and if you look at the end of the garden bed you might see the twin pineapple we decided to transplant too – really hoping it might get a bit more heat here and actually fruit – still a pretty long shot though…













The orchard got the love it needed – lots of mumby magic, covered with old straw and some rocky soil put in between the trees to plant up the chook fodder food forest next month:
















And finally, an unexpected bonus of those many hours of earthworks – this walkway/driveway between the house and the shed no longer looks like a building site – yay!













Next month it will be planted up with baby natives – just waiting for the rain to be on the reliable side.

But today was “below ground” planting day (moon gardening) so these went in today:















Oh, and plus some sprouted ends of the Kipfler potatoes I had in the pantry :-).

Busy times - as always…

Family came to visit :-).

Paving has progressed:

Gardens got some love:


 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

(Attended a great native garden seminar day with Josh Byrne – Gardening Australia fame – learnt some great tips –  e.g. plant a banksia and leave it alone!).

Been dog-sitting for the neighbours – so plenty of walkies have happened :-).

Started – and finished – a triathlon (first in my life ever!)

And some lovely trips to Perth for the graduation of our eldest :-).

Closer to now – Michael has been on the bobcat a couple more times so our yard and driveways are looking great – most impressive is the flat area for our future chook run and orchard :-).
