There is a fair amount of work to do and I anticipate that it will takes years (hopefully, Id hate to run out of things to do).
Today I will be working on the new ornamental bed deside the shed. Its approximately 10mtrs by 600mm and already has a nice cordyline near one end.
I am hoeing the ground and endging with very old railway sleepers from the now defunct Coominya line. The bed will be back filled with very well rotted cow manure and it recives good light in the morning with complete shade in the afternoon.
Canna lillies, bromeliads and comfrey rootlets have gone in today. Dwarf hyacinth, delphinium, heartease and coleus to be sown in puntes fpr future planting out.
Climbers, to be decided on at a future date, will grow up trellis attached to the side of the shed to soften its "old world appeal" - slang for doggy home job made thirty years ago from odds and ends.
