More of the Garden dec 2008








Roys outside coffee table







I Planted 2 tubes of Native violet and it now covers about 10 sq metres and is still going. It loves the thick mulch.




Iluka garden December 2008


I love the way the garden is filling up. I can call it a garden now, before it was a weedy sandpit.




I have started vegies, had our first bok choy and lettuce and little banana peppers. The beans are coming on well and spring onions just about ready. lots of herbs dotted amongst the plants.



The garden is taking on a lush look, we have had plenty of rain and are only on level 2 restrictions just because we feel we should. Lots of different birds in the garden and very friendly.

Summer again nearly Christmas 2008







I wanted to show the extension finished and our new furniture. We actually have a dining room now and can spread out a bit. We put down a new hardwood floor right through and love it. We still have our little table in the window and it gets all the winter sun. Looking for a blind.

mary mary quite contrary





How does my garden grow. wow! we have had so much rain I am feeling a bit guilty. you can practically see everything grow including the grass. My natives are getting big and my Hibiscus cuttings are now shrubs. I have one lemon on my new tree. The tomatoes are finished but I can grow them all year.

Latest addition




With Christmas over work has started again and Roy perilously painted the outside walls of the new addition. The plasterer has moved back in and causing havoc. but we are getting closer to spreading out. No more excuse me's, and stepping over Roys somehow incredibly long legs.
