A peek at some of our garden

We have been busy in the garden pruning, weeding, transplanting & building this week. I thought you might like to have a peek at our garden & see what we've been up to. We still have plenty to do outside as well as inside, but I thought you might appreciate the look around. You will probably notice a lot of unfinished projects...hoping they will get finished one day!
 
Middle Level Courtyard
 

 Front yard & lawn area leading down to the house

Front of the house...still a lot to do! I was hoping for a veranda this summer...maybe next year.


 Side courtyard that looks down the backyard.
The main bedroom's french doors open onto this courtyard as well as our side entrance (hallway/sudy nook).


This is the start of our "no dig vegetable garden beds".
 
 
The "no dig vegetable garden" beds needed to be built ready for planting at the start of spring. So this is the main reason for there being no updates on the hallway/study nook.
 
I will do a post on our "no dig vegetable garden" for any DIY's who are interested. We will continue the hallway/study nook this week. I really wanted to get the veggie garden in this year, our water tanks are full & there are no water restrictions in place (so far) this year. 
 
I hope you enjoyed a little peek into some of our garden! We are on an acre so there is plenty more to see. I will try to update these pics in summer when the tree's have their leaves & the flowers are in full bloom.
