Progress, Slow, but Steady

The front garden progress continues, slow but steady, and if you have been a watcher of the blog you will maybe remember the very first steps of the 'to the right" part of the front garden, which we now consider to be finished.

Here is a photo of that part :

When we first moved in, that was just a patch of dormant grass, a sad piece of lawn, and our efforts over almost five years have resulted in the above.

The other side of the front garden is also a long term project, and again, if you followed our progress, 100% grass became 90% grass, then 60% and here we are, years later, continuing in developing a mature piece of garden, and in September, we are focused on the path project.

The shade change of the newer pathway will fade as we get rainfall, a lot of the lighter colour is dust, and the path should be all the same shade at some point. The right hand side of the photo is another patch that needs to be developed, so there are many years to go. 

We discussed this today, and 2019 was not a good year for progress for a number of reasons, and 2020, the first covid year, gave us more reason to attempt to socialize, than garden. The progress has been slow, but it is worth it, and we think this month, and next month, will be very good for the new garden.
