Well what a couple of weeks. We have been flat out busy. Firstly Samuel was baptised. I would put photo's up but I don't have any yet. Mum took some so I just have to get them off her the next time I see her. The other thing we have been doing is putting grass in our back yard.
A couple of weeks ago Adam came home and started digging up the
back yard. He pulled out pavers and took out a rose bush and then we moved over 2 tonnes of soil. We then purchases 3 tonnes of good soil and put this down and then we had to compact it and get it flat. This process took about a week, on Friday we went and picked up our grass. We ordered 16 sq mtrs of grass and it is fantastic. We got Kikuyu because it is really hardy and drought and pet tolerent. It makes such a difference to our back garden. We have only done a small section and we will continue to do the rest in small sections. We cannot do it all at once because Piper still needs to go somewhere. She loves the grass, as we were laying it she came out to have a look, she sniffed it for a second and then started rolling around. We had to get her off after a minute, and now have put a small fence around it. It is not meant to get any traffic for 14 days. We are watering it quite heavily and in this heat I will be doing it a bit more. So here are our before and after pictures -
the garden looks good, now all you need is to keep it that way. no toys on it and plenty of water. if you get it through summer you are made. can't wait to see the whole garden with grass it makes such a difference. you should take more pictures with the little garden beds included. they just add to the whole look.
