Well folks... we have a garden of sorts. While I haven't been posting on my blogs I have been levelling my land, spreading out topsoil, laying turf and covering our garden beds with copious quantities of gum bark mulch. We also have a fine array of native plants as well as a little fairy garden for our 2 little fairies... (it is unclear whether Nathan will be admitted to that part of the garden - I guess it depends on what sort of day the fairies are having).
Our herb garden continues to surprise us by its resilience to our amatuer gardening skills and we have managed to get a veggie patch up and running with some tomatoes, zucchini and lettuce.
It has been good for us as a family to get on with this. The kiddies now spend much more time outside. I even had to put the trampoline back up. (yes I'm still personally over the weight limit)... now for the deck!!!
