My Vegetable Garden – Part 1

Today I *finally* got the structure started for our Vege Garden! I feel a big sense of achievement here, because the area has been sitting there getting more jungley by the day, for about 2 years now… And today I managed to weed it, move a wood sleeper to create the fourth wall base, put [...]

Open Garden & Inspiration

Mum and I visited a lovely open garden inCanberra on the weekend. It was owned by an older retired couple, who have lived there for 43 years! So they have about 40 years on me and my garden, but I was still so envious. The style of their garden was not totally on par with [...]

Skinny Front Garden

In December it was quite cool and rainy here in Canberra, so I took the opportunity to be outside and work in the garden, tidying up the front yard and creating the Skinny Front Garden bed to “fence off” the front corner of our block. The area I wanted to use for the garden is [...]

January To-Do List

I have 6 months before I go back to work. I want to get a LOT of stuff done around the house before that happens, so I need to get a wriggle on. Here’s my list that I want to get done this month! Paint Bathroom cornice and ceiling (and post final bathroom reveal) Buy [...]

Flowers in my garden

After some very heavy rains in Canberra in November and December, my garden is doing pretty well =) I took some quick snaps on my new Canon Ixus the other day to share. The Agapanthas are not very amazing, as they are *everywhere* in Canberra, but I’m really happy they’re flowering because I replanted them [...]

Front Garden Update

It’s been a little while since I posted anything from the garden, because to be honest I haven’t been doing all that much! Only a little bit here and there…Which I guess add up to quite a bit of difference when it’s so long between updates! Here’s the front when we moved in: And after [...]

Front Garden Landscaping

The landscaping of my gardens are always a work in progress… We have such a large block, that there is just so much ground to take care of! I’ve broken it down into areas and am working on them one by one, but that means there are other areas that look horrible until I can [...]

Half completed projects

I’ve been a busy little beaver recently! Lots going on, but nothing quite finished enough to dedicate a post to, so here’s the wrap up: Last weekend we went to the coast with my parents, which was really great, it was raining and miserable in Canberra but absolutely gorgeous at Jervis Bay. We went to [...]
