AT LAST!

We have moved and are settled! Everything except the pictures hung on the walls. It feels wonderful to finally relax! Work was so hectic in the middle of the move I was beginning to worry I might not retain my sanity!...ok, what little I have left! I sat tonight after work and looked at the garden....ok, I should say where the garden will be. OMG, talk about a blank canvas! There is a load of bricks and pavers in one corner, a home made tank of some description that needs tearing apart and some serious ground levelling needed. So...out with the phone book and let the fingers do the walking! We plan on having the yard levelled, a swale built in one section and a 2' deep pond dug out where one section of lawn is. Once that has been done I will import some top soil and begin building the garden areas as the soil in the yard is compacted clay, sand and rubble. These areas will be home to the fruit trees, berries & vine fruits, the vegetables will be going into a purpose built shade house area filled with worm wicking beds. Interesting to note that as a child everything was grown in full sun, we can't do that here nowdays, it burns away! With a couple of years, much composting and tender loving care I can again have my 50 fruits and berries going, time is all thats needed! Expect to see much babbling about activities here over the next 24 months lol Take care of you and yours:)
