Rain

We have had a lot of rain lately, hopefully this will be the beginning of the end of the drought. Anyway the rain has been wonderful and it is great to see the green grass and the flowers thriving, well doing the best they can with our limited (but growing) gardening skills.
I have all of these new plants to put in the ground and photos to take so that I can share our progress in the backyard but I haven't been able to finish due to the rain, not that I am complaining. Just saying that I need to get more top soil and it is hard to get top soil when it has the consistency of soup.
I did sneak a few previews in, the rendered retaining wall and the new fence colour........ if you look closely.

    Hi Nellie:) Great to hear that you have had some rain, we have only had a little bit here in Armidale. Love the colour of your fence and your lovely garden. It has inspired me to get out and clean ours up over the coming weekend, lots of weeding to do;) Have a lovely Wednesday ~Tina/

    Thanks Tina, we have been doing a lot of work out the back and I plan (weather permitting) to get out this weekend and finish planting and tidying it all up. Have fun with yours. Nellie xx

    Ah, the comfort that only rain can bring to a garden....such beautiful photos. The one of your dog cracked me up, he looks highly suspicious of the process! Lovely to "meet" you here. Meredith xo.

    I love your garden collage - it's just gorgeous. Everything here in the Highlands is so green - such a lovely change from the burnt paddocks. Leigh

    I long to see our flowers and shrubs wake up this spring! We got snow today, so I guess I have a long time to wait!

    Hi,
    Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving such a nice comment. Love your box hedging. I wish mine was that healthy looking! Your puppy is adorable but looks a bit mischievous - is there any other kind?!
