Changes and surprises

​today was our kings birthday holiday. So we had an extra day of getting things done. Yesterday after the girls all went home we headed out back to continue removing the old small flower beds 


I rescued as many bulbs as I could find and a couple of the plants 


They were all planted in these pots 

I had to put all the plastic pots on the red bark so they could drain. They were in the concrete and with all that rain were a little too wet. Hopefully this will solve that problem 


Today hubby got this machine to move the large wicking beds 


Now we have a large empty space. 

We have something that will fill this space, but that’s for another post 

Meanwhile inside I finished cleaning, organising and putting away all the things the girls used. 

Folded dry laundry and put that away. 

Then I did three loads to hang on the newly empty clothes horses 

It’s never ending.

  1. Gardening is a never ending rearrangement seeking perfection but seasonal variation defeats achieving perfection. At least you have that mean machine to shift stuff.

  2. What did you remove the wicking beds? Just asking as I’m thinking of getting them, regards Robyn

    1. I’ve still got them they will be place in their new position once the new large Item arrives.
      I highly recommend wicking beds. They’re great for drought conditions and for keeping your garden alive if you go away for. Few days.

  3. I love that you can bring in the big machine to help. But you're the 'machine' that does most of the work lol
    Looking good

    1. I definitely need a rebuild. Unfortunately my parts are so old they’re no longer in production lol
