yay for spring!!

I love spring, the flowers (like the lavender I adore in my front yard), the weather, there's something so invigorating about it!! We had a great family day gardening today.
Elora even joined us and was very hapy to be outside for a while.



















This is Brett getting started on our new raised garden bed for veggies. After the limited success last year we realised our back yard is just too shady, so we're gonna have a try out the front.





























This is the veggie bed and Brett's gonna make a smaller one for my herbs as well.




This was the state of our back garden this morning. I haven't had time to get to it since last years veggies died off, was too busy being pregnant and having a young baby and it was looking very neglected!













































It is now being transformed into a fairy garden. This is just the first step, a pathway leading to a doorway into the tree where garden fairies live :-)



































Stay tuned for the finished product!!

Thanks for your comment today. It is a while since I have been across to your place. Looks like you have been VERY busy. The garden looks great. Hope you and the children are getting a lot of pleasure from it
