Going up......
We shoved.
We yanked.
We pushed.
We eyeballed a hundred times and shoved again.
Until finally......
I keep expecting the troopers from Sovereign Hill to arrive at any time!!
I'm not sure what it is, but there is a lovely sense of calm pottering around up there.
The hole in the side of the wall is where the chook nesting box sat. We will cover it. We've both bumped our heads a few times going in and out so may look at putting a head height door around the south side... head height for us two anyway.
All the pots and potting mix and garden paraphernalia fit inside beautifully with plenty of room to spare.
I will plant the pots of herbs in the second bed today sometime. They are ones that I saved from our original kitchen garden.
Herb Garden in Cambodia
Amy has been helping to set up a herb garden at her school in Cambodia too.
She sent through a photo of her "white board"..... a sheet of paper tacked to the jack fruit tree.
She is struggling with the heat over there at the moment, so her two hour lunch break has been spent here.......
From the garden
Very exciting to see tiny green shoots poking their noses up. They are from the lemon seeds I planted a while ago.
And there are gorgeously perfumed flowers on our potted meyer lemon tree.
Vale Uncle Art.
You have passed on your love of fishing and the great outdoors to your boys. It is great to see.

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely LOVE the potting shed and raised patches. How come you didn't put these in while I was home hey?! And the photos of pa are just classic. Especially the one of him telling his fishing stories!! Love you xx
ReplyDeleteHehe..... Oh it was hysterical..!!! Such gorgeous boys/ men!!!!
DeleteGreat shed and raised garden beds. Fancy having to put in a higher doorway for you two ! Fancy having raised beds in the garden for you two ! Just goes to show there are advantages & disadvantages of being of short stature as there is of being tall. Can't wait to view the cubby house
ReplyDeleteThanks Rossy..... Oh yes, there's no chance at all of you getting through that door!!!! You'd have to crawl your way in!!
DeleteLove the potting shed/cubby. I wonder who will have the best time in there in future. Did Bill build it from scratch? If so I'm really impressed
ReplyDeleteNo Jo....you'll have to read back further. We were able to disassemble it in panels, roof, veranda etc and then assemble it in the same way.
DeleteAwesome work with the Potting Shed. Some great photos of Pa and the family too. Air con doesn't look real flash for your lunch break Amy haha
ReplyDeleteShe was probably coming down with her tummy bug by this stage I think. I'd have to tie a wet hankie round my neck or get a squirty bottle of water and spray it on the kids. Don't know how you guys can survive in the heat either!
