We've moved!

Four weeks after planting, we have our first success, Radishes!

Happy little gardeners.

Vegetable garden, two weeks after planting seeds.

Grass, gazebo, Daisy and 'no clothes for me thanks' Zach.

Finally! We are loving our new house, it's still in the Ranches but more central so an easy walk to the shopping centre and golf club. It was a very busy time getting everything ready and the move was the usual fun but it's great to finally be in.


I'll stick to pictures from the garden for this post. It was just a big sand pit so was quite exciting to plan. Once the planning was all done it took three weeks and a LOT of workman to complete. Pretty good going considering the amount of work that had to be done on irrigation, paving and building the gazebo from scratch. . It's elevated which gives a nice open feel and there is a gate which leads to a path to the communal swimming pool/playground/tennis court/basketball court. We've put in lots of flowering shrubs and trees plus lemon, lime, mandarin, pomegranate and almond trees. The kids and I planted a vegetable garden with herbs, tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, beans, carrots, courgettes, squashes, watermelons and sunflowers. it took three days for the first seeds to come up and it's growing at a great rate.
