The Grass Is Greener

After completing their work on the trees, the gardeners proceeded to returf the grass around the front and sides of the building. They also helped us to prepare the planting strip that will be our flower and vegetable garden.

Returfing actually involves quite some work. The top layer of soil that is full of weeds has to be removed, and then the new grass is laid over.

Once that is done, the workers install the fibre edging to separate the turfed area from the planting strip. So now the strip is ready for planting.

Our seedlings experienced a growth spurt over the past few days, and they now seem to be chomping at the bit to be transferred to the planting strip where they can continue with their growth. Sorry guys, you have a wait till our child planters come next week.

These grew pretty well and orderly.

While this bunch appear a little unruly.

The yellow hibiscus that we saw a while back as a flower bud. Look how you've blossomed!
