Garden in the Country ( not really)

Probably my favourite garden at the moment is this one. I do a full day here every fortnight. Its about an acre and I am always exhausted at the end of the day from being on my feet for 8 hours.

Its like a country house and garden. Large veranda's around the house sweeping lawns and wide garden beds, its very peaceful working here and I always feel like I am in the country.

Its actually not far from the city. There's always plenty to do, recently completely re planted the lawns with a grass seed, from a specialist supplier, that grows in the shade. It's the first time I have used this blend of different seed types for shady areas and it actually worked !

Weekend, pretty tiring week, could do with some more rain.

Stables

It's great that this property I go to has kept the stables as part of the back yard. They have their own fireplace hence the chimney. In the day they were in use they would have had easy access to the blue stone (night carters), lane at the back of the property. This property is only a few kilometres from the cbd. Its very rare nowadays as for most people it would be the first thing pulled down.

Lillypilly Hedge

With the plentiful rainfall over Summer this hedge has gone crazy with new growth. My biggest concern when clipping it is not to fall in the pool !

Beautiful morning I better get into it.

Getting there

Nearly

Done time for a coffee!

Autumn its darker and getting colder !

Not only is it now dark when I leave in the morning but also their is a real chill in the air. Had to revert to the beanie first thing today. Leaves are changing on many trees some faster than others. Love this house and the garden that I look after, great portico over the front door which has coloured beautifully over many years as the copper changes.
