Our flower garden update

Terasa sangat strange pulak bila tak letak photos of our garden and tak buat update about our garden during the past weekend.

We did spend time in the garden doing so many things on Saturday and Sunday tu but tak sempat pulak nak ambik gambar to put up on the blog.

The ‘major’ project we did was cleaning up the side garden on the front of the house and preparing the grounds for planting.

Since, The Other Half still tak boleh pegang cangkul and rake and yang seangkatan dengan nya, I lah yang betul2 jadi minah kebun that Saturday morning.

It was hard work, let me tell you! Hahahaha…. Winking smile.

But the end product was well worth it.

The side garden is going to be used for our watermelon plants.

Before the makeover, penuh dengan weeds and grass clippings and what nots. After the makeover, we’ve put sugarcane mulch on the soil (we still need another big bale of mulch sebab tak cukup haritu) and we’ve planted the watermelon seedlings in the black pot.

Bila the watermelon plants grow, dia akan menjalar along the bed.

We all siap letak white plastic fence edgings lagi tu konon2 utk mencantikkan that area. I’ve also bought some more solar lights to put there Smile.

And mana boleh tak letak photos of the flowers and the vegetables kan.

If you guys want to know, we’ve got 11 rose bushes in the front garden. These rose bushes were planted by the previous owner so by the time we bought the house and moved in, memang dah mature lah the roses so tu yang agak senang for us to maintain.

I’ll show you all of them ye.

See, 11 rose bushes you! So far, takde yang mati lagi under our ‘care’, hehehe…

Sejak we all letak pots of flowers along the path to the front door, I love to look at them and also to ambik gambar.

I suka sangat2 with the Asutralian paper daisies ni so I bought another plant to accompany the first one.

This is the Sundaze Bronze.

The ‘old’ Sundaze Flirt.

The other day masa I tayang the roses, the pink ones and the white ones haven’t bloomed yet so this time dah kembang mekar, baru lah boleh tayang kan

And bila dah tiba musim bunga berkembang, inilah kerja I every few days…

Deadheading the spent flowers. kadang2 bila rajin, I will put them in a vase but most of the time, I let them bloom fully on the bushes and bila dah layu, baru buang.

Eny,
I'm glad you like the photos :-)

Nina,
I pun bnyk jugak yg I tanam tak hidup sebenar nya :-)

Anash,
Same with me. When I lived in houses yang takde pokok bunga rose, I always dreamt of having a garden full of rose bushes and to be able to have them in a vase daily.
But now dah ada, malas betul nak petik masuk vase, hehehe

Susumanis,
muahahahaha....kalau I berseri2 mandi bunga rose, sure TOH ingat I dah buang tebiat ;-P

Nani,
Memang banyak. Itu pun, we all dah buang a few masa mula2 masuk rumah ni sbb banyak sgt. But pokok bunga rose ni like you pun tau, once dah established, memang senang nak jaga dia. tinggal prune them at the right time, jaga fr pests and baja once in a while aje kan :-)

Wan G,
I yg tengok hari2 ni pun still rasa in awe tengok kecantikan dia :-)

kayNisa,
memang sonang ya amat, hihihihi

Rinah,
I pun tak tau bila lah I boleh ada masa nak mandi bunga ni, hehehe

Net,
ada yg tak best, ada yg best, hehehe

Kniedaz,
we all tanam tembikai last year and menjadi, tu yg this year pun berkobar2 nak menanam, hehehe

Shamsiah,
memang cantik sunnguh ciptaan Allah ni kan

Wani,
tanam lah kat kebun belakang rumah tu, hehehe. Sure tension hubby you :-)

dana,
bunga rose yg kembang sgt2 tu I buang aje sbb dah wilted sikit. kalau I tabur atas katil, maulah gelak sakan hubby I, hahaha

Putu,
bunga aje yg cantik2, the lawn still teruk jugak sbb tak hijau cantik :-)

Pendragon,
kalau I mandi bunga, adalah yg akan ketuk the bathroom door every so often, tak tenang betul nak mandi, hehehe

Wati,
kdg2 aje I sempat nak belai, kdg2 tu neglected betul.

Angelina,
Glad you are back. How's Brad coping being dethroned? hehehe.
nanti you dtg melawat, make sure it's the right season ok so I can tabur the rose petals :-)

Kak yan,
memang segar habis. I suka tengok bila lepas hujan, cantik sgt :-)

Umi,
Macam mana lah hubby Umi boleh tak terperasan bunga rose tu ye, hehehe. nasib baik dia nampak sebelum masuk dlm kereta :-)

Sue,
waalaikumsalam. Tunggu roses yg kat bushes lain tu kembang, nanti I ambik gambar lagi ye :-)

MM,
Memang betul you cakap, nak berkebun n berbunga ni memang kena sikit rajin or else hidup segan mati tak mahu dia, hikhikhik

Fiza,
kalau tanam bunga, memang best bila semua kembang cantik aje. Bila dia mati tak nak hidup, tu yg tension, hehee

Abbott,
memang cantikkkkkk ;-)

Kella said...

cantiknya!!! cantiknya! saya suuuukanya tengok! =D

Aida Salleh said...

cantiknya sis. my mum pun suka flower ni tapi kalau tanam selalu tak menjadi kecuali bunga raya yg tanam luar rumah dekat dengan tong sampah...yg tu je jadi....elok berbunga dan tahan lama pokoknya.pelik tapi benar. heheheee

lemongrass said...

kella,
memang cantik kan :-)

Aida,
Maybe aura tong sampah tu kot yg buat pokok bunga raya tu mekar subur, hehehe. Cuba you tanam ros kat sebelah tong sampah tu, hidup tak agaknya ;-)

Rose tu sayangnya kalau dibuang. Ambik kelopaknya rendam dan buat mandi. Good for orang pompuan terutamanya selepas period. Orang tua2 kata buat naik seri tapi for me best sebab badan akan bau wangi. Kalau ada bath tub buat berendam, best sangat.
