Two Cockatoos

It’s been a while since I posted in this blog, and lately I’ve been thinking that I want to start it up more regularly. It’s spring, and we’ve really been inspired to get back into the garden. We’ve neglected it badly, and while the breaking of the drought has resulted in a lot more green, most of it appears to be weeds, or all sorts of stuff out of control. This first photo was taken on 27 September.

Anyway, a few weekends ago, DH got stuck into one particular part of the garden near the western fence. It was full of weeds, buried plant pots and assorted junk. For a while I had been thinking that I’d love to use that space for something better, but didn’t have the fortitude to clear the rubbish. He pulled everything out of there and covered the area in compost and mulch. Already it was like a breath of fresh air! Here it is on 29 September.

So, I’ve decided to document some of our progress here in this blog - not because we’re doing anything that remarkable, but because I’m inspired, and I want to share it with you. And because if we can do it in our humble backyard, I’m sure you can do something in yours, too - and if you already have, I’d love to hear from you!

Anyway, I’m not going to go into more detail today, just a little “teaser” … Watch this space!
