At the beginning of summer I planted out a garden bed. It then turned into a makeshift vegetable garden because I couldn't be bothered building a separate one in the back and only wanted some herbs, tomatoes and zucchini. When those started to die off we had the pest guy in to treat around our house for termites because our neighbour refuses to cut down their termite infested gum tree (another story for another day) and so it was necessary to save our place - structurally. But in order to do this the garden needed to be dug out. I didn't get much notice and all the plants were quickly evacuated into a bunch of different containers. Some survived, some died.
Seeing the bare beds has depressed me (the other bed had its plants dug out due to a new fence being put in.) So today I finally went to Bunnings and stocked up. Whatever plan I had in mind quickly evaporated when I got there what with the little one having a meltdown and world class tantrum and me juggling bags of soil so I just sort of threw the plants that I liked in the cart without any thought to size or quantity.
The result?
 |
| Star Jasmine, blue and purple Pansies, white & purple Alyssum |
 |
| Still not entirely sure what I want to put in this bed! Trying to decide between cumquats or white roses. But for now: Dwarf Lavender, Rosemary, Star Jasmine, left over Pansies. |
 |
| Assortment of bulbs for pots and garden. Can't wait for April! |
 |
| LOVE the idea for this Star Jasmine design which I think I can achieve on the fence. |
 |
| Have been thinking about Ornamental Pears a lot for the front of the house in front of the windows to provide some shade and privacy. Love the Lillipilli hedge and Star Jasmine border. |
So yes. It's not ideal, although I do like the first bed and will improve once I start training the Jasmine but it's SO much nicer than just seeing bare, ugly beds full of bits of building debris.
