It has been quite the thing over the last eight or so years to watch our garden evolve, this time of the year is perfect for creating new features, the weather is good, not too hot and even a little shower is welcomed during our daily, short, gardening adventures.
The latest addition is a short path of stepping stones that make access to the left side of the garden a little easier, these little concrete pavers were less than five dollars each and look quite neat snaking across to the gravel path and beyond.
It is also quite amazing how much the right side of the garden has grown over the years, with most of the shrubs being provided by yearly nursery gift cards from Karen's mum and brother. The shrubs were originally small enough to get about five or so in the back of the car, now it would be impossible to squeeze one of them in, although we're not rushing to dig any up to find out.
It is impressive how the small shrubs grow into monsters and especially so as this portion of the garden was basically a patch of scorched grass and earth when we first moved in. There are more projects planned for the next few months and another gift card available to buy more shrubs and ground cover plants, which will of course provide more opportunities to be out in the fresh air, weeding and watching our garden grow.
Looks great …..
