We worked flat out today.
We loaded all the plants onto the trailer, then started to lay them out in the garden. I had an anxiety attack as I did not know where to start.
We worked it out, planting from the front backwards, remembering to fold down the bags so you cant see the plastic, to cover the edge of the path because it crooked, to cover all the plants with soil so all the pot tops cant be seen. Its really time consuming and you use so many plants - I thought we had completely over ordered. I think the planting is working beautifully, we finally positioned the olive trees and they look fab, both 'blowing' in the same direction.
The plumbago looks so good along the path, it gives such a wild overgrown feel. We did not finish the planting, but we did well. We stopped at 8.30pm as the light is not that good.... its almost time to get up again. Must get some sleep
Hi Nin,
ReplyDeleteI have been visiting every few days - really taking shape now, and keeps getting better! Loved the pebble walkway, and the sleeper bench.
How will you go back to an office job after this?
