Lavender & Rosemary (& some ugly stuff than had to go)

I'm exhausted, but proud of myself. Here's what I did today. It took much longer to get that big clump of some-sort-of-ornamental-grass out. Then I planted 12 lavender plants and 2 rosemary. I hope the rosemary will become bigger bushes. They are supposed to have pink blossoms. The lavenders are white and deep purple, 3 different heights and different foliage, one very silvery. All smell wonderful!! Apparently, slugs don't like them, but the bees love them and the one of the tiny song bird type birds was interested too.

BEFORE yesterday and today's work (beyond the table on the left):


MORNING:


AFTERNOON:
1 (I cut all the leaves down yesterday, but today getting the huge root clump out took ages)

EVENING:


The rose was already there. The trellis was blown down in a wind storm. The roses must be finished blooming before they can be pruned back & the trellising repaired. In the meantime, I'm working around it.

Then I unloaded 5 of the 75 litre bags of compost into a big compost container that my neighborhood neighbor who owns the local cafe, gave me. It's great! I completely love having it. Load stuff in the top, remove from the bottom. So much better to use than the compost pile in the back of the garden! I added veggies from the little Saturday organic market in front of the cafe.

Then it was time for the foxes to come out again!


Tomorrow is an easy gardening day. I'm just gonna put some of the shrubs and other flowers into the front.
