The Garden.

Promised a few pics, so let's see how long this lasts...

While the going is good - this is the 'pot garden' at the back door. We've planted Lemon Verbena, Coriander, Rocket, Rosemary, Thyme, Lemon Thyme, a Bayleaf Tree, parsley - flat leaf and normal, mint, Chives, wild garlic and origano... Looking forward to a nice herb salad soon! (From two angles)





The front of the house. As I'm traveling most of the time it had to be low maintenance. This is what we came up with...



More of the front. Have to give the new lawn some time to settle down but sure it will look great in about two to three weeks.



That's all for now folks, hope y'all have a really pretty day!

PS: The garden layout was Dawie's ideas. He was such a creative soal. Just another thing to remember him by.
