Loo.ng Term Garden Plans

No one can accuse of being slow in the garden at least
We started visiting nurseries buying smallest plants at cheapest prices
As our blog implies we are broke after this house
So decided to buy smallest plants now and start growing them now, in the hope that would be at some decent size by the end of the year
We also bought a 20Litre plastic tub to collect grey water while using a shower.
This seems to cover the water for the plants
For those not in Melbourne we have an acute water shortage here
We have level 3 restrictions - meaning we can only water plants in the morning on a Sunday or Wednesday mornings for one hour only. We cannot water lawns etc
Planning the garden seems to be a very complicated task - planning retaining walls which is required all around the house, decks, paving and making sure the AG drains not covered.
We are thinking of getting help from a landscape planner assuming we can get a decent prized on.
Get the plan but we do the work later in stages.

At this stage we have bought lilly pilly (got the variety from from HelloHello called 'Neighbours-Be-Gone))- Using this for one side of the house
We also bought some pittosporum for the back of the house
Bought some palms and took cuttings during Xmas holidays from friends for the area around the aAfresco. far collecting plants that we like.

Some of the plants (Sure it looks like weeds the size it is)

Pots of Pittosporum


Palms for rear - can be seen from Alfresco
