Itchy green thumb...

Today we took a trip out to the block with His Lordship's mum and grandmother. They haven't been there since the fencing went up and some trees were planted-therefore they made suitably impressed noises!

I am desperate to get some vegie beds going and to prepare the area for fruit trees. Due to committments over Easter this will have to wait a couple of weeks! Then we will start to prepare a version of a minimal dig garden.....by using a spaded edge and turning the cut lumps of grass upside down a slightly raised garden bed with earth edging is created. A thick layer of newspaper, manure and grass (from the slashing) will be laid on top and allowed to sit for a few weeks before the bare rooted fruit trees are planted.

We are only a few days away from our colour selections at National Builders Group's Colour World-can't wait!
