Spring 2015

Spring planting DAY 1

With our limes trees getting older, the plan was to generate more bees by getting some more flowers into our backyard along with herbs.

No tomatoes this year as its just too much effort for little return. Well thats the idea at this time.

I set Abbi and I the task after school and work on Wednesday to get these seeds in and going.

Pots were chosen rather than the ground as our soil can be quite harsh without a proper garden being created and we need the ground for the netball court, pop up pool and all round kids stuff.
