I'd like to report that I'm done with both weeding and de-constructing rock gardens at Struan Farm, but that's not the case, even though I'm definitely "over" both!
I've been slaving away for the past two weeks in the roadside wooded garden near the Homestead, weeding, pruning (with John's help), and redesigning the rock gardens. There were number of paths to nowhere and small beds that didn't make sense.
I'm bruised and sore, but it's looking much, much better. There are a few recalcitrant rocks to be moved when John is available to help. I find it hard to fathom how my in-laws managed to dig in all of these huge limestone rocks. It would have been hard work, it's major work trying to de- and reconstruct them!
Once it starts to rain again I will fill in the gaps and plant some low native shrubs along the front fence line under the big feature trees.
Next? Finishing up a major clean up of the other areas of the Homestead gardens that aren't quite so obvious, but that need a clean out.
And p.s. I'm closing in on the pond, and we've got over 200 tulip bulbs coming to plant in April. Ella, Livvy and Daniel are already contracted to help with that project.
