My Garden

Here is a photo of My Garden ,   we had a jungle while we worked through the years and it took until we retired
part time to fix it up.
It took around  6 months of hard work - buying new plants - laying soil and new grass - but  it was sure worth it in the end- as we have a lovely nice place to enjoy.

Here is a photo of part of our Garden.

A little break

Next Sunday we are off to the North Coast for a few days - Son and daughter in law and children are coming with us.   We hire an apartment with a pool at the back section of our two story townhouse and the kids love it.
The resort we stay at has a wonderful surrounding pool of the whole area, its not real deep but it is also great for the kids (and us).    We are not far from a place called Nelson Bay and Shoal Bay so we also go there swimming as well. We don't cook much -  mainly eat fish & chips etc but we have a lot of fun together.

Small Gardens

Some of us do not have a large garden area, and some of us live in apartments and smaller dwellings
so I have placed a few container pictures on my blog to show you how good they could look on a balcony or
front porch.
Containers can also be added to a Garden area to enhance the surroundings.

You can freeze Garlic for  around four months,   make sure it is fresh  - cut the cloves in half - crush the cloves  with a knife and place in a piece of  cling wrap.   wrap like it is a cigar  and twist the ends,  freeze and use as you require ............
