Beautiful Lavender
August 5, 2009
I’ve got about five lavender plants in a row at the front door of my house. You have to walk past them to get inside.
I love walking past them, brushing my hand over their foliage and having the smell on my hands for hours afterwards.
Lavender and their scent are one of my favourite flowers and thankfully they’re very hardy as everyone that knows me well, knows that gardening isn’t my forte!
These beauties are flourishing with all the rain we’ve had and their flowers are in abundance!

Slave Labour in the garden
March 30, 2009
Every so often the garden gets the better of me. In fact, it’s always got the better of me – I’m the worlds worst gardener!
I love beautiful gardens and always wanted a huge one with lots of lawn and flowers. I’ve got one, but it seems to grow more weeds than flowers and the lawn isn’t quite how I imagined it!
Anyway, the time arrived to tidy up the last four months’ worth of weeds and mess!
Hayden is busy making a racing track for ‘Lightening McQueen’ to race on, while he mows the lawn, Rochelle is washing my car, Anthony is… doing something with cows?! And I’m pulling out weeds that are about as tall as me, with a root system that goes to China.
When we were organising the vegie competition for the Condy Community Fair, Gill and I decided that we should have a section for the tallest weeds! I’m pretty sure I would’ve won that!
