Garden Update

I have been really busy shifting dirt to the garden beds and also to even out the lawn planted by the landscaper. Biggest mistake in the house to date but eventually it will be sorted I hope. Last weekend my friend Shellie offered her morning to assist with shifting some of the dirt and we struck a big root - Landscaper told me it was too big to shift but we dug it out - Shellie's version - they were too lazy to do any digging. Her husband came and assisted us towards the end so we have shifted enough dirt to build up the lawn so now you will not fall off the edge of the patio - kim and raewyn.
This weekend being a long weekend and holiday I have shifted more and also spread some over the lawn area to try and even out the lawn. Not very impressed with the guys doing the lawn as it is not very smooth.
Brenton and Keith - Shellie's sons came this morning and dug over the last little bit of the old house so that tomorrow night I can plant the grass. It is kind of smooth but needs a bit more leveling I think tomorrow night before I plant.

Gardens started.


I have been doing the gardens at the moment as it was about 27 - 30 degrees today so got a bit burnt. School starts in earnest tomorrow and I think I will be stiff.
The front lawn is starting to grow and I am intending to put a bit more dirt on so the bricks are covered better.
