Gargen Rockery

I Finally made a start on the actual groundwork in the garden.

I ended up starting in the far corner, as quite by accident I was given some granite lumps from a neighbour which were perfect for the rockery I had planned for that spot. I found that Ferns are a great plant for very shaded areas, so along with the weed suppressing sheeting I had, I just needed to get the railway sleeper to have all the materials.

Grass stripped off. Soil (soil? I mean junk from the house build like stone and sand) was dug out and replaced with good peat and earth mix.


Railway sleepers were cemented in, and membrane laid, and ferns planted.


Finally, The gravel was laid in around the ferns.

Garden

After the very harsh winter, things seem to have come back with strength.

We've now got some trellis up on the wall on the balcony for the Jasmine, along with some wall art, and some baskets, with Periwinkle (to survive the constant shade) and 2 types of compact trailing fuchsia.

Daisy

Heres a bunch of piccies....

Getting some fresh air in early spring.

Another year !

Well, theres a year+ gone past.

Not quite sure where it went, but then I guess that happens when you have kids.

Daisy was born on 10/7/09. 9lb 4oz
Quite an amazing event seeing your child born.
However, I was witness to a portion of it from the floor, as I had gone somewhat wobbly.
