Another weekend in the garden



Another busy weekend in the garden. There is so much to do and it is exhausting but rewarding. It's a nice time of the year to be outside and get some dirt under the fingernails. We finished off transplanting the roses out the front of the house, and moved some pretty geraniums into the entrance to the front door.
We also has some spring cleaning inside - the windows got a wash and we moved the furniture around. The lounge is great

We bought a trailer load of rich mushroom mulch and used the rotary hoe to dig it in to the vegie garden. Last year the kangaroos came in and gobbled up the vegie garden in one night, so we will need to try to keep them away this year. We planted silverbeet, chilli, cucumber, zucchini and pumpkins.

And for those of you who are interested in the lawn - yes - it did come up. It is still a little patchy, but there are lots of luscious green shoots and it is looking great. We are also planting some couch grass runners and that seems to be working too. They are cute little blades and it is more fun than I thought, watching grass grow!

That's all for now. If you are reading my blog I would love to hear from you. Who are you? What do you think? Is there anyone out there?
