Our Special Space!

Rain at night and sunny all day - that would be perfect -- yes @Zoe7 , i have put my order in , have to see what happens now

My "outside" kept growing ... lol @Zoe7 @Oaktree

Property line, verge, other side, whole end of the court, geurilla garden and physio garden. I propagate and share. I 'officially' relinquished some of the court garden to a very amazing new neighbour who has strong interest and capacity in gardening. She is not much of a greenie tho ... and not sure about her sense of social conscience or community responsibility ... she was quick to put up big fence and might be a bit competitive. We will see how it all pans out, but I do not need to take on more than I can handle, and anyway ... my plants HAVE BEATEN THE WEEDS and I did not need to buy a lawnmower. Yay!

Your garden sounds wonderful @Appleblossom

My lawn is dead, too many years of not watering. I wonder what else I can do with the space. Am tempted to just put in a whole heap of native ground covers.

Pity about the neighbour and her big fence.

I hope she is going to be a nice neighbour.

Native groundcovers can be the go ... working with what is natural ... and putting effort into your greenhouse. It will probably keep you really busy. Lawns are a bit of a hangover from ... the old country ... with all its rain ...

@Oaktree

She has a very nice dog and seems lovely. We will see how it goes. Another neighbour who I find aggresive and dominating, has made a "play" for the new lady's friendship ... and I feel like backing off ... as I do not like complicated triangles.

Hey @Appleblossom I would say let the friendship develop naturally and not play into the other neighbour's issues. I am sure this new neighbour will work out any games the other neighbour is playing and see how wonderful you are.

Morning @Shaz51 @Oaktree @Zoe7 @Appleblossom

Hope you’re all doing well.
Beautiful day here ❤️❤️❤️

Beautiful day here too @hanami I have some things to do this morning but hoping to get outside this afternoon and finish my path. I was going to leave it until next weekend but looking at the forecast later in the week - we are expecting rain. It should only take a couple of hours to do ...lots of angle cutting to do but then laying the pavers will be quick and simple once that is done..

Hey @hanami

Welcome back to the forums after your weekend off. It’s grey miserable and wet here today.

I am baking a cake today. Have to go see my case manager at 11am and then graduate group this afternoon. Busy busy here. I was also hoping to get some seeds planted for my new green house but realistically I don’t think that is going to happen.

Good luck with your path today @Zoe7

Good morning @Appleblossom @Shaz51 @tyme @Sophia1

@Zoe7 that all sounds super productive! Yep meant to rain here too later in the week.

Hope you enjoy the day ahead 😊

I have done most of the housework that needed doing already this morning @Oaktree @hanami so it will be a clear afternoon to finish the path and get stuck into school work again this evening. I usually do a little at a time but I think I will just work as long as needed tonight so I can relax tomorrow before going back to work on Wednesday. Of course my plan will depend on energy and tiredness levels but if I am motivated I should get through some of the essential stuff quickly.

I hope the cake works out well for you @Oaktree Have you called your son yet for his birthday?
