A gardening weekend

We spent the entire morning until early afternoon doing the garden. Before that, we spent our entire life saving at Bunnings! hikhikhik….. .

Takdelah sampai our entire life savings but it seems like every time we go to Bunnnings, memang tak sah kalau tak habis beratus dollars. Dengan compostnya (our home-made compost wasn’t enough to cover 2 vege beds and 1 big vege patch, tu yang kena beli berkilo2 lagi), pastu dengan mulch nya lagi, dengan pesticide lagi, dengan segala macam baja untuk all the different plants lagi. Pastu dengan segala macam tok nenek benda lain lagi.

Sekarang dah masuk Spring season in OZ ni so obviously, everytime Spring comes, semua orang bersemangat nak hias kebun, nak cantikkan the lawn and nak tanam macam2.

We all dah terfikir2 nak tanam tomatoes, chillies, eggplants, capsicums, cucumbers, some more herbs, lettuce and beans Spring ni so adalah supply during end of Spring and Summer nanti (konon2nya lah sangat2 excited nak tanam macam2 sekarang ni, hahahaha.)

And we are also thinking of planting more citrus trees around the garden. I thought of planting calamondin (which is the same as kalamansi/limau kasturi tak silap I). Tapi kaler kulit dia kuning oren bila buah dia dah masak. Pastu nak tanam Tahitian lime and also mandarin. Tahitian lime ni lebih kurang limau nipis lah but seedless. But still tengah berbelah bagi tak tau nak tanam kat mana, hehehe. Our yards bukannya besar sangat so we have to try and find the semi dwarf varieties.

Tak sabar rasanya nak menanam and menyemai, hehehe…(menanam and menyemai and menuai I suka sangat2. But menjaga the pokok in between tu yang I malas gilers, hahahaha).

By the way, this is the biggest rose bud on one of the rose bushes so far.

The Other Half kata, “I swear that every time I turn my head away, the rose bushes grow another foot taller!” Hahahaha. Memang cepat sangat2 the rose bushes membesar bagai johan!

And this was what we did today in the front garden.

The Other Half trimmed the edges of the lawn while I tried to clear the area around the bases of the rose bushes of grass and weeds. Pastu, we all letak  this plastic edge trimming  and also some pot plants to brighten up the entryway to the front door.

Even our neighbour who lives opposite us perasan yang we all dah ‘cantik’ kan sikit our garden. Siap tegur we all when we were outside tadi how the white plastic thing makes the entry way pretty. Nampak sangat lah sebelum ni our front yard ni so plain abis kan, muahahahaha.

Ambik gambar pakai baju kurung sebab baru aje habis beraya 3 rumah petang tadi . Senak giler perut I, hahaha.

Esok nak sambung buat gardening again…..
