Well we have finished the garden bed and it looks brilliant! We needed two loads of dirt to fill it and I put a stack of cow manure in it too (Mitre 10 had a split bags for only $3 each). I am so pleased with it and Dave is already talking about building another. He is now really into it but is trying to pretend he is restrained!
I have planted onions (both red and brown), brussell sprouts and some cabbages. The cabbages have been transplanted from my other garden as they were a bit close. After taking this picture I put some mulch on it too. Having a think about what else to plant.
Hilton's nursery was having a 20% off sale so I bought this Bay tree and pot. Apparently the tree will dwarf itself due to the pot size. This sounds right as Mitre 10 has had one growing in a pot for as long as we have been going there and its going okay. Between the seedlings and this I have spent nearly all of my pocket money for the fortnight!
Dave finally put up the weather vane his Mum got us 3 years ago! We are only really using it for the rain gauge. Its meant to shower pretty much all this week.
This is where I am going to try and grow some garlic. It is probably more shaded then they will like but in a book I read that they will still grow just a little more slowly. Since this was the spot I had for some seeds that didnt take off I thought I most well give them a go.
This is where we are going to put an arch at the side of the house, its also where the pumkins are going to grow. I will have to make sure that they dont over take next doors!
I found these while ahaving a poke around the side. They will definately have to stay.
And Finally here is Wes with his braces. I had to beg for this photo! His teeth have never been so clean!
wes's teeth look great
