A Busy Couple Of Weeks

Wow we have been very busy around here lately.
We had some soil delivered back in July to make some garden beds, but it rained & we had visitors so we were unable to move it.
So as soon as the weather cleared up I we got stuck into it.
We put 2 new garden beds at the front of our house & at the side of our house we have several palms that we decided to fill in between them & make 1 big garden bed.

John & Trailer came in very handy

Then we filled it in with lots of shrubs - much better than riding the mower round & round the palms.
It took me about 4 days to do all that as Dave was at work - of course!

Then we he came home we had arranged to have 8 palms delivered for the front - so Dave dug all the holes - Big Job!

Lucky I didn't have to do that!

Just as they were delivered our friends Stephen & Robyn arrived in with their Bushtracker.

 After they set up we had a quick chat & cuppa & then they volunteered to help us plant the palms. We were very grateful as it would have taken us alot longer by ourselves.

All Done

Stephen & Robyn stayed the night & we had a lovely time catching up. They left for Cairns first thing the next morning.

Then we were back in the garden setting up sprinklers.

We also transplanted a tree from the otherside of our yard:

Once again John & Trailer very handy!

All Done!

Well now that all the planting is done I just have to keep up the water as it has been pretty warm here.
Our busy time is not over yet though, Teigan is flying over for a week on friday & then we are spending a few days in Port Douglas with Rob & Marg.

Bye for now,
