New Spring blooms after Winter - I've been giving it a bit of water lately too.
It is so exciting to see these little red promises!
I raked and sorted and slaved. Got stones and made a ramp, put the old sides of the bedroom chest of drawers on the top, and lo! managed to drive the car in without incident. It worked!
I have tried to position grass divets and rocks so that they help the slippery ramp to stay put.
For the first time here, my car is parked on a proper carport slab! The carport and shed probably won't go up for about another two weeks, but still, I am grateful that I am able to do this. Eventually, the raking and shovelling will be over, and I can start gardening again on the top part of the garden. I will make it all pretty with creepers and so on.
Espalier the fig on the back of the shed, I think, or maybe the carport, as I want the back of the shed to be useful for a potting area, hopefully.
These are photos from yesterday morning (Thurs, 27 Aug). Alex of TPG Constructions came round with his helper Baydon to start building me a retaining wall behind the shed. Some drainage will have to go in, as well as fixing up the driveway to the carport. Jeez - money.
I used up a few hours morning time shovelling fill over the back garden. The pile of dirt is getting smaller.
