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.

Jodi, you're garden looks beautiful. My husband loves his veggie garden, but he would love one as big as yours even more.
ReplyDeleteHi Kylie,
DeleteReally looking forward to tasty home grown veggies. We are going to Heronswood (The Diggers Club) to buy heirloom seeds. They are online so if you are interested check them out. http//www.diggers.com.au

Your garden is gorgeous! I love the green, white and gravel combination. Your arums look amazing. You 've inspired me to try them at home. I tend to lose interest in my garden in the winter but am now all fired up again. X Sharon
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon,
DeleteThank you! I love to get out into my garden...wish I had more time though. The Lillie's love it there, the soil is a very heavy clay & they seem to love it. They look beautiful during the cooler months, summer not so good. I do try to plant shrubs & plants that are hardy & easy to maintain, I find looking after the gardens on an acre of land can be very time consuming.
