Beautiful foliage of a yucca plant. |
As the third and final part of my series of three, here is my front garden. Again, it is almost full of water tolerant plants and therefore little or no watering is required. There are succulents galore, grasses/flax and the centre pieces are two trees which were lready established when we purchased the property. One is a standard Birch, the other a weeping birch. We also have a corrugated iron pelican on an old tree branch which unfortuantely cannot be seen in this shot, and decorative old styled planters. Enjoy! |
To follow up last weeks 'nature' post, here is the second part of my back garden. As you can see we have a BBQ (covered), seating area, water feature (which we made ourselves), and this undercover area also houses the dogs. Last weeks shot continues on to the left of this portion (you can just see the start of the vegie patch). These views are what I see whilst sitting at the computer, as directly behind where I took the shots are large windows opening onto the garden. Next week, the front garden, which my wife has entered into a local garden competition. |
As promised/requested here is a shot of my own back garden. It will be the first in a series of three. Over the next two Sundays I will show you the rest of the back garden, and then one shot of the front garden. This part shows you my circular vegie patch which has new plantings of tomatoes, cucumbers, zuchinni and Spinach. The back corner in the dark of this shot is a day bed where we can relax next to a pond made from a buried old bath. Next week you will see the area used more for entertaining. There is no grass and minimal watering is required of the plants, as there are lots of succulents. There is also a young apple tree and an olive tree. Timber has been laid on the ground to create the pathways. |
