Richard filled the garden bed with good soil and loads of compost, and you never saw anybody so excited about all the worms in there today.
Even the stakes are colour coordinated.
Garden bed edged with yet another 'temporarily permanent' brick wall.
Retaining wall at the back is permanent, however.

It's been a busy day altogether, with the planting of 70 tulips, 3 punnets of pansies, plus ixias, sparaxsis and daffodils (from a valued friend).
Who said gardening was easy lol It is a lot of work but oh so worth it when everything is in bloom! I love the way you've got it all set up and you must take more pictures once the flowers are all in bloom! Hopefully you can have a relaxing day today:-)
ReplyDeleteWow! Alice your place is going to look absolutely gorgeous when all is blooming!

I sure wish my hubbie was as keen as yours! Looks great!
ReplyDeleteI am with Sandy on the keen hubby of yours. It is going to look great when all the plants fill in.
ReplyDeleteIf I didn't know better, I'd think Richard was a farm boy Alice. He sure works like a farmer. That's a lot of work you two accomplished in one day. It's going to be beautiful when all the plants have grown and are in bloom. Well done. You'll need to go to the coast again if you keep working this hard!
