The redwood sleeper edging I put down to compliment the new decking has really tidied up what was a wonky concrete block wall. I hand cut these and braced them... All they need now is a good bit of sanding and then we can start planting up the gardens.

Perfect day for laying a block path for one of my clients... A lot of blocks...

Another beautiful morning and my first site for the day is a very steep sloped section with an amazing view. I have been looking after this property for a while now and maintenance has become quite minimal thanks to regular gardening.

Another beautiful morning. Today I am back gardening after a crazy few weeks of design and graphic projects and helping out Dad. Today I am back at the Goodhome in Onehunga working on the gardens I have maintained for nearly 3 years now. I put in a large amount of Lilly Pilly which is almost ready for cutting into boxed hedging.

The Echium I planted outside our place two years back have begun to flower again this year and they look amazing. I spotted these on a holiday down South and had to have them.

Working between design and garden projects this week and the bad weather. Yesterday I worked on a site removing old raised gardens and putting in new macrocarpa ones today in muddy and boggy conditions... Client happy but I am wondering just how good mud is for the skin as I got a fair amount of it :)
