Screen, trellis & vegie gardens

The two screens I purchased from Stratco have been welded to a steel frame & concreted in about 3 feet down.  A cyclone wouldnt blow it over!!  Doesnt look that great at the moment but with some greenery around should blend nicely.

This little trellis which has also been well & truly concreted in, I will grow a creeper on to semi hide the man cave, thinking a mandevilla, I dont want anything too large or aggressive at the trellis only measures 2m x 2m.  The shade cloth structure belongs to our neighbour & covers his aquaponics vegie garden.

Two beautiful home built raised vegie gardens have been installed along with a small movable trellis for growing peas or beans.

We were going to buy them from stratco but they were about $250each, these were built out of left overs from the man cave at no cost. Its nice to have a win!

I am waiting to go and get some sheep poo from my mother inlaw's farm to fill them up further, but my wonderful husband has done a marvellous job along with the help of No 2 son. Well done guys!

Lawn Gone!!

The muscle men dug out the rest of the front lawn

and the back lawn as well!

and put it all in here!

now we shouldn't need to get too much fill.

I pulled, cleaned & stacked all these pavers, big job & I was wrecked afterwards, still more to go!

and Bella did nothing but watch & offer advice!

My new home

The front view with a few sons cars parked on lawn. big plans still formulating, but the lawn will all go & perhaps a little more paving where the blue car is for parking.

From garage looking towards road (carpark),  One of my boys has already started to dig a little of the lawn out. 

Two cordyline (I think), alternanthera rubys blush, an azalea were already there. I planted the Grevillea Dorothea Gordon



bought a new tank to collect rainwater from the new shed we installed in the backyard.  The shed ended up being about a metre bigger than I thought we were getting, might have been an intentional mistake by hubby!

Golden cane palm & agapanthus


Backyard view, ugly pool fence,lots of paving & minimal garden, will have to rectify that!  New large man cave, almost touching house & pool.

placing tank in position, way too close to the pool for my liking, mmmm may have to make a decision on pool??

pool looking a lovely shade of green!

water tank in place & fitted up, well done boys!  Discussions to follow on fate of pool!
