How Does Your Garden Grow.....

since my last landscaping update we have seen a bit of growth on the plants through winter which can only mean great things for growth through spring and summer!!

the viburnums have come along really well through the winter months and makes the savings on buying small $2 plants even better! they have pretty much caught up to $10 plants in just one season..

the azaleas are really starting to bush up now but they haven't flowered yet, the variety we bought flower late in the season so we are expecting to see some nice red flowers soon....

we have also put some large magnolias in the raised garden bed out the back..... to buy these in a decent size can be pretty pricey but we managed to pick up some that had been left in a pot way too long and were looking a little worse for wear. we have dosed them up with plenty of fertiliser and water and hoping to see some new growth soon!! fingers crossed they take off....

in the front of the garden bed we are currently planting some miniature japanese buxus hedges which are very slooooow growing but make the garden bed look instantly better!!  i tell you though 60 plants later can be quite pricey.....  photos to come

we are thinking about these for mass planting in the rest of the bed....

we are also in the middle of planting the garden beds along the back fence with a mixture of ballerina apples and pittosporum green pillar...  photos to come

and hopefully by my next post I will have a washing line up!! wohoo! let me tell you I am so looking forward to hanging our clothes outside rather than in the lounge room.....
