This is a bit of a saga. It all started with me hounding David Eades to build me a herb garden just like the one he built me in Carindale. Only this time I wanted it to be slightly higher. After much debating over where the perfect spot would be to locate it, the northen side of our property won out - more sun that side. THE BUILDING BEGAN and it was no small feat. By the time it was finished we'd carted heavy beams and moved one tonne of soil from tge trailer to the garden bed. I finished planting my herbs by late arvo last Saturday evening.

SUNDAY MORNING I WAKE UP SORE AND SORRY FOR MYSELF AFTER ALL THAT BENDING AND LIFTING only to be told by David that our bbew herb bed has compromised the legality of the pool fence for our next door neighbour, Eddy. BLOODY HELL I SCREAM. NOOOOOOOOO! After all that hard work putting in WE NOW HAVE TO MOOOOOOVE IT!

Yep, move it we did. You wouldn't believe the rigmorole we had to go through to shift it. First we had to find another sunny spot. No such luck. The tall fence provides a challenge when it comes to sun angle. Anyway we ended up moving the bed sideways and we will be crossing our fingers that plants like warmth as much as sun in order to thrive. Because the raised garden was going against a fence rather tggan the brick wall meant we needed to put a backing panel in AND because our side of the fence has a rail across the centre and could be used as a foothold for some agile child we had to take the backing board to the top of the fence. END RESULT. THE TAJ MAHAL OF HERB GARDENS. red bodycon knee length dresses
