Another long garden update

While The Little Misses kat Sunday school tadi, The Other Half and I pergi tabur duit kat Bunnings. Balik dari Sunday school, The Other Half pergi Bunnings again to buy some more stuff. The first trip, we spent $250, the second trip, we spent another $200!

Boleh beli loads and loads of kitchen gadgets with that money kan!

Hahahahaha……

So, what did we buy….

Some more plants (except the lily yang we all beli a few months ago kot).

Another blueberry but a different variety this time and redcurrant.

Pennywort which if I’m not mistaken is pegaga or adik beradik pegaga. I suka makan pegaga in ulam, campur dengan kerabu. Yumm!

2 hydrangea plants. A pink one and a bluish purple one.

And we bought a new water tank to collect the used water from the airconditioning unit so we can recycle the water on the garden. Lupa pulak nak ambik gambar. I’ll take a photo one day so you can see what I mean by it.

And we also bought an outdoor plastic sink with a hole underneath connected to a hose so we can recycle the water too.

Australia ni negara yang sangat kering, memang budak2 dari kecik dah di ajar kat sekolah supaya jadi water-wise so we are trying to be waterwise jugak lah, trying to recycle the water we use.

We are now trying to figure out how to recycle the washine machine water without creating too much inconvenience for me as the laundry person.

The hydrangeas after we’ve repotted them.

The hydrangea flowers up close.

And we spent some more money buying some more sleepers to make a new raised garden bed.

My D.I.Y. guy, hehehe.

The new garden bed on the furthest left of the picture. We are thinking of planting the berries here and maybe the lettuces and herbs.

The other vege patch yang sekarang ni tengah penuh dengan so many vegetables.

Dapatlah I sedekah kat kawan2 masjid tadi some serai, daun kesum, daun limau purut, timun and silverbeets. Lepas ni, once the other plants start to fruit, bolehlah sedekah sayur lain kan.

Serai and daun limau purut mahal giler kat sini, sebatang serai tu about $1 kot and a few helai daun limau purut around $2 so memang ramai lah yang nak sayur2 tadi, hehehe.

Now, some photos of the tomatoes (again).

Our yellow cherry tomatoes baru nak masak.

the red cherry tomatoes pun dah nak masak.

Tengoklah pokok tomato ni, sangat sarat berbuah, I yang tak larat tengok, hehehe.

I think it’s the big round variety.

Another one yang tengah sarat jugak, sampai meliuk mentuk the dahan sebab we all tak ikat, hehehe.

Lepas ni, once semua dah masak, memang hari2lah makan tomato .

And our curry plant.

Cepatlah membesar pokok kari. Sebab jiran baru sebelah rumah we all yang akan masuk in January will be Indians. Boleh lah dia cium bau pokok kari we all hari2, hehehe .

And now the front garden….

(I told you it’s a long update this time…)

Our roses are finally growing normally again, Alhamdulillah…

Kat belakang tu is our pokok limau purut. Dah besar dia sekarang. We bought it in Jan 2006 when we first moved to Perth and at that time cuma ada 10 helai daun aje kot, hehehe. Sekarang dah ada beribu2 daun!

But, lepas I ambik gambar ni tadi, we made some minor changes to the layout of the potted plants. But I malas dah nak ambik gambar the new arrangement.

Esok2 lah ye I ambik….

We spent 3+ hours in the garden tadi. Memang penat gilerssss!
