A Garden???

Okay so if you read my blog or know me at all you will know that I do NOT garden, I kill plants! I grow weeds really really well but thats about it. So I have no idea why, when my wonderful Mother-In-Law and my children expressed a desire to create a veggie garden down the side of our house in some space we pretty much ignore, I gave in and said yes but agree I did and today after a trip to Bunnings for some plants, potting mix and a few other bits and got to work on this space

  1. well my theory is if mummsy-in-law planted it then isn't it her garden and therefore her responsibility to care for it????
    good luck keeping it alive and weed free :)

  2. Yeah the only problem with that is that she lives in Margaret River. Great for visiting and get aways not so great for maintaining my new garden :)
