We're back at it. After our epic spring/summer gardening tour du force we've decided to get going on the rest. And by rest, I mean the fence outside, the kitchen garden, building an outdoor dog house (Noushka approves) creating a small lawn for a laundry mill and as a space for future kids to play, the herbal garden and then we have a bit of space left that's being filled with wild flower, an almond tree and the compost heaps.
Ambitious, we? Never!
This weekend we put the poles of the fence in concrete, using it to stabilize and strengthen the fence. Noushka is getting bigger and smarter every day and if she has the space to jump close to the fence she can work herself out of the garden. First we spend a considerable amount of time removing all the chicken wire that the previous owners wove into the bushes and trees. I filled the gaps with branches and such so Noushka doesn't have room to jump.
Eduard continued with paving two paths that lead to the back of the garden, while I was saving/replanting some of the plants, and weeding out others. I am starting to get a feel for what is weed and what is not, though I am still afraid I might get it wrong and kill all the plants.
