Backyard Blitz

Wednesday, 21 September 2011
Can't keep eyes open much longer, but must put some piccies up showing our BIG weekend, when our moonscape was transformed into a back lawn and a front native garden (teeny though those plants may be right now). Thank the heavens for most excellent friends (that's you Ally, Dan, Laura and Ben) or I'd still be out there wrestling with an out-of-control rotary hoe and attempting to get those bits of turf lined up...  Can't tell you how wonderful it is to have greenery around us rather than swirling red dust and mud. Now I just stand at the window in the morning and grin like a maniac!

Friday: first we rake, and shovel, and barrow, and level, over and over again...

Dan in fertilisation mode, so to speak


Finally ready to lay

First roll (of 130 sq m) down!


Ally patchworking



Halfway!


Rosie-dog likes

Twilight laying: on the home stretch
Saturday: start again front-side





120 plants! (Hard to see, but there...)
