The labyrinth is taking shape.
The path has been edged with concrete.
The view from the top looks amazing already.
Next, garden beds need to be bricked up...
And here, Michael is doing a brilliant job.
Woo- first garden bed done!
Jayden patiently sorting and cleaning the bricks.
The bolster broke! Expensive doesn't always mean long lasting :(
The creek is being transformed...
Not sure what this is...except a great way to show you what we have to work with. Sand. Lot's and lot's of sand.
Bricks piled high next ready to make a new bed.
How good does this look!
The messy business of creating a new space.
Another bed in progress.
So many bricks- grateful for donations and Gumtree giveaways.
Two more beds under construction.
At last, the liriope has flowered.
The weekly battle- leaves covering the chess board and seating.
Cucumbers and tomatoes rambling everywhere.
Fruit!
Pretty happy with this harvest.
Sad carrots. Oh well, they'll make great compost.
Pre-Christmas veggie garden clean up.
Time to prepare for sunflower seeds...
And some potted flowers.
Adorable little eggplant.
The little box contains strawberry seedlings. Sad to say, the heat, and a stray animal's toileting habits has destroyed them.
The herb filled bathtubs look much neater, and now, the hot & spicy oregano and rosemary have room to grow.
In this heat, I find soaked coconut fibre makes seed planting so much easier as it retains a lot of moisture.
The sunflower patch is ready to grow :)
The front of church keeps popping up random little flowers from last year.
A welcome bit of rain helped revive these flowers.
The veggie patch looking neat and tidy once again.
More donations...river rocks and a potential climbing frame.
A sand filled garden bed. Soil and mulch will be added on planting out. Plants/ trees that grow well in this climate and sandy soils will be the wise choice to use.
DONATIONS APPRECIATED!
Some discarded nasturtium seeds taking over.
The bougainvillea vines are taking off, and the agapanthus flowered reasonably well this season.
The jasmine vine is spreading well and has sent out several metre long tendrils.
Soon, this slop will be completely covered in flowering vines. And hopefully, the frangipani will flower too.
The variegated bougainvillea is already much bigger than this, and producing pink and white bracts.
Lemon scented geranium growing well under the shade of the trees.
A successful geranium cutting.
This baby is growing very well.
The fern is thickening nicely.
The side garden is growing very well and has become quite lush.
All the transplants are growing brilliantly.
This has new foliage!
Home grown cucumber ready for the table.
Garden bed progress.
Safety tape to keep people, and the construction site, safe.
Progress is messy, and exciting!
There is a garden bed here somewhere...
Wet summer weather...great for growth, and weeds.
Shane neatening up the kids creche lawn.
Look! I found the garden and seating!
Yet more garden beds!
Getting closer to completion.
Marvelous chaos :)
Lastly, some wee baby sunflowers, poking up to say hello.
Phew...part one of the epic catch up, done!
I promise I won't let things get so behind. Hubby and his work for the dole team are doing the most amazing job. I'm in awe of their hard work, in this heat especially.
Much, much more coming soon.
Until then, thanks for reading :)
