Stuff I Do

I guess I should fill my extensive audience in on the status of the garden. After all, much of this blog began around that subject, as it provided many of the images I laboriously adapted, modified, varied, amended, changed and created, and sweated (is that a word?), agonised, worried and fretted about.

The neighbours' decision to remove one of the tallest and most obstructive trees from their backyard provided the necessary impetus to, firstly, toast the great George Harrison with a rousing rendition: Here Comes the Sun! - and then plan the overhaul of the previously less serviceable garden beds. The joy! du dn du du.......and ah said, its alright. The anticipation! Oh my god, the work(!) involved in pulling out existing shrubbery junk and replacing with deep, sleeper-walled, composted, delicious earthy, mulchy stepped gardens, just waiting for as many seedlings as I can afford.

So, the good news is its now full up (no wonder I haven't had time to blog!). Zucchini, cucumber, beans, snow peas, eggplant, strawberries, pumpkin, mandarin, curry plant and the mighty tomatoes. I'm hoping, come fruition, my shopping days are over for the summer (excepting clothes - don't have the room for a cotton crop - and shoes).
