A year down the track


My, doesn't time fly! This time a year ago, I was signing a contract for this apartment and trying to not have it cost me too much to break another lease. Now look at it! Like a rumble in the jungle ...

Now I have patio envy.

Looks fantastic - amazing what you can create with a few pots, isn't it?
I bigged up all the photos for a good squiz.
What have you got in the pots over near the deck chair?

Hiker, I am now a patio convert. It gives me so much more control, and less work. It is like an outdoor loungeroom; I move the furniture on a regular basis.

Letty, in the three pots over behind the deck chair there are murraya. I guess you know it - it is a mock orange. It is still flowering with more buds coming. But it also has a lot of growth which I really need to start trimming. The biggest pot, closest to the concrete steps to the front gate, is a fig.

What an amazing creation. I was saying to Ian on the train this evening as we passed a housing development that when we get old (and move from our big house and garden) I would be very happy with a town house with a little courtyard garden like we had in Canberra years ago. I think they are big enough for garden fun without the effort and it's amazing what you can fit in them just as you have shown.

It wont be long before my back gives in altogether and then what will happen to our garden? One like yours is looking inviting. It is quite a transformation. Well done.

Thank you, friends.

It is such a good layout, this 'apartment'. It seems to be the best of all possible worlds. And most certainly, it is not a physical burden, which is important.
