Our house sold very quickly - in only a few days. We had a great real estate agent. She recommended viewings by appointment rather than an open house - A lot more work for her but better for us...

I took the camera for a wander around the garden this afternoon. Lately I've been so busy working in the garden I haven't taken the time to just relax and appreciate it. I took so many photos I'v...

The new house is coming along well. We haven't been up to see it since before Christmas but the builder has sent some progress photos.  The outside is basically finished except for a few tri...

I took a day off work today so we could meet the building supervisor at the new house. They've been making good progress. It's starting to look like a house. We have a roof and wall frames ...

Our garden is made up of a number of quite different microclimates. There are areas of deep shade where, over the years, trees have grown to produce a thick canopy of leaves or shade-cloth screen...

It seems ages since we bought the block of land and signed up to have our new house built. It was quite a long process deciding on colours and tiles and electrics and windows and roofing and ever...

A long weekend is always welcome. With the G20 in Brisbane we were given Friday as a public holiday, or as I called it, a bonus gardening day. Being greedy I decided to take Thursday as a leave ...

As the weather warms up gardens needs mulch more than ever to keep moisture in the soil and stop weeds from growing. Buying mulch for a garden as large as ours is an expensive business. You need ...

I received an email from John while I was at work yesterday. "Shame you were not here to take a photo of me feeding our visitor. Couldn’t take a pic and feed it at the same time. Ate biscuit ...

Another busy weekend in the garden. Two days a week just isn't long enough to do everything I want to do at the moment. As the weather warms up the winter crops are finishing and it's time to thi...

I have been blogging since 2007 and this must be one of the longest spells I've ever gone without posting. There were lots of reasons but mainly life has been hectic so the garden and the blog...

  We took Missy to check on progress with our block of land. I think she approves.    The block has a street at the front and a narrow one-way lane at the back. This is the front looking ...

Winter for me is peak vegetable growing season. I'm afraid with everything else that's been happening this year, the poor old vegie patch hasn't had as much attention as usual but we have put in ...

Life has been so hectic lately I don't often get time to just wander around the garden and appreciate what is there. Sometimes you just have to "stop and smell the roses". Well, I don't have any ...

Well, our block of land is still just dirt, but they have made quite a deal of progress. The road has been built and services like electricity, phone and water are connected. We have had some r...
