Gardening this weekend

June 5th, 2011 at 08:41 am

I have been gardening this weekend, my front strip. Once it took me about 2 hours to do it, now it has taken me over 6 hours of weeding, trimming shrubs and pullout some plants , adding more soil and replanting smaller plants that I pullout as well binning all the rubbish. Now I still have to plant cuttings so I will have more plants if these ones fail and cover the beds with cane mulch that will get done tomorrow as I have run out of energy now. I did check my gardening shed for supply so I didn’t need buy anything.




These are before photos of my front garden

Strategy - Do remember what you have stored before you go and buy more of the same.

    Wow I love those shrubs with the pinkish yellow leaves. It looks like one of the tropical houseplants they sell here in the states.

    Are your shrubs Crotons? They look like they lend a lot of privacy to your house. (I'm taking a break from my gardening just now.)

    They Crotons and I have 7 shrubs of them across the front plus 3 seedling that I found while I was weeding. I have potted them up may plant them out in another part of the garden in a few years. These crotons are between 30 & 40 years old now. I know the history of my house as it's been in family since 1949 when it was built and I moved here 40 years ago this year come October.
