OUR VERY OWN SECRET GARDEN!!



LOVE, LOVE, LOVE HYDRANGEAS

WE JUST BOUGHT CHAIRS LIKE THESE.

LOOK AT THAT COLOUR......STUNNING!

I EAT A LOT OF BLUE BERRIES,
SO I THINK I SHOULD START GROWING THEM!!

WE ALREADY HAVE THE JASMINE
ON THE BACK FENCE
AND I AM GOING TO POT THE AGAPANTHUS.

CLEAN AND FORMAL

WE'RE DOING THIS
 EDGING

I HOPE MY HYDRANGEAS ARE
THIS HEALTHY

Spring Has Sprung!!!!!

How lovely is the Spring time weather in South East Queensland at the moment!!
It's funny how as soon as the weather starts to warm up everyone wants to start Renovating or Decorating!!

It's been a very busy month- thus the delay in getting this post to you-:-)

We are also taking full advantage of it and are in the process of renovating our back courtyard.
Here are some pictures of Phase 1-  The ugly part :-).

What are you doing this Spring to improve your outdoor spaces??

Phase 1: Before Shot- remove lower branches off
trees and garden logs



Start the back breaking part!!- removing old
grass and  soil and old plants out of the garden.
We are keeping the trees.

Adding the top soil and levelling it out
- already looks cleaner!!

Ahh..... the first slab of turf.
Now onto Phase 2.... the garden and edging!!
