Pergola Garden Taking Shape

7 comments

It’s a lovely cool springtime evening after a rather warm day. Temp. hit 30 deg C at our place early this afternoon and the sun had a bite to it today!

Spent most of yesterday working on the new garden space under the pergola. Bought in a few barrow-loads of new soil and Mick carried up over 20 rocks from the bush paddock. That was hard work. I had the easy task of just putting them into place.

I’ve got loads of plants ready to go in – Begonias, Impatiens, Coleus, Torenias. There are some Dwarf Pinwheel shrubs already planted beside the steps and I’ll be keeping some ferns in pots for the space as well.

Today I played around with positioning these plants and pots and worked some fertiliser into the soil. I’ll finish off the planting tomorrow during the cooler parts of the day.

I spotted a few of the familiar spotted Common Crow Butterflies (Euploea core) around the courtyard today and the lovely little Yellow-Spotted Honeyeater (Meliphaga notata).
