Welcome to the first Woeful Wednesday post!
My plan for Wednesdays is to feature a part of the garden which needs some work - mostly because I'm hoping it'll provide me with the momentum and inspiration to get that work done, but also because it would be a bit misleading to only show the pretty bits of the garden. Oh, and if I didn't show the dodgy patches, I'd run out of things to post about pretty quickly!
So, today's topic is The Path.
When we bought our place the whole back section of the garden, where the fruit trees are, was mulched. That mulch broke down pretty quickly to be followed by a carpet of weeds. Our plan for the area is to get most of it mulched with a more long-term woodchip mulch, with a stepping stone patch winding through it.
A good friend gave us a whole bunch of concrete pavers he didn't need anymore, and my dad brought his trailer over and helped me bring them home. We procrastinated in our usual manner, but eventually Mr Bon laid most of the pavers out. There is just one corner now which is distinctly lacking in path - in between a vegie bed and an orange tree.
We still have a little pile of concrete pavers hiding discreetly under a hibiscus tree, as well as a small pile of circular pavers given to us by another friend. So all that needs to be done is to get out there and lug the heavy things around! Well, for Mr Bon to lug them around, anyway - the square pavers are way too heavy for me.
You may be able to spot a few other woes in these photos, such as:
- un-mulched spots
- plants in dire need of pruning
- weeds
- invasive plants from next door
These will be the subjects of future Woeful Wednesdays!
Also, just to make the post a little bit less woeful, I will throw in a couple of photos showing parts of the path that are finished, and which I'm very happy with :)
We got a package in the mail today with some news I'm ITCHING to post about, but it will have to wait until tomorrow. Two posts in one day is a bit much :D
