Back Fence Border

We drove to the farm on Monday & picked up a trailer load of sheep poo!  It is glorious, broken down nicely & mixed with barley straw, so hopefully the plants are grateful.

The back fence border is complete for the moment. In the top picture (left hand side) I have planted two different native hibiscus, magnolia, iris, purple fountain grass, agapanthus, easter lillie, podalyria sericea, scaevola, shasta daisy,penstemon, & aloe bush baby yellow.

To the right of the golden cane palm I have planted more iris, aloe fairy pink, Nepata six hills giant, Phygelius aequalis yellow trumpet, more penstemon, aquilegia, patersonia native iris, Papaver ruprifragum tangerine gem, Buddleja davidii royal red & Euphorbia characias, oh & the skinny little trunk of my Bauhinia tree.

My one & only flower at the moment - Dianthus

Bearded iris I received from my mother inlaw.
So all looking rather pathetic, but with the onset of spring they should all fill out nicely.

Rock heap

What a lovely photo this is (not)!
This rock heap is right where our pool is going to go (hopefully if we have a good season)
So I will need to create something out of these rocks, most likely a garden bed border, will have to wait till the tractor comes back from the hangar though as they are a little too heavey for me.
