I worked flat out like a lizzard drinking all arvo and the garden is looking much better, you can see the plants. But am waiting to mow before taking a photo, no use in not being able to see the garden for all the long grass in front of it!
Stay tuned, I will take another photo tomorrow.
Front yard done, back yard next....

I was going to say, if thats your idea of messy, I will be ashamed of mine. Seriously, its not too bad, a bit of grass spreading thats all. I like that bush, what is it?

Good luck, look forward to seeing the updates, I love working in my garden!

Tidied up now, and Jeemag the shrub is a bottle brush (Callistemon), an australian native. It will be awash with red bottle brush like flowers soon, plenty of buds at the moment. I will post a pic when it is in flower. http://www.anbg.gov.au/gnp/gnp2/callistemon-citrinus.html

You may have noticed that the grass is a bit patchy, that is because of these two!
Note the electric fence tape. Grass should be able to grow back now.

Jeemag asked what the shrubs in the front garden were, here they are in flower.

What a beautiful shrub Lolabelle. Such a brilliant colour .
Your hard work has certainly paid off .
How long will the blossoms last ?
Thanks for showing us what it looks like when in bloom .

That is stunning, Lolabelle. Thanks for taking the trouble to post the pictures. My son has a couple of the Ridgebacks in England but his garden doesn't look a bit like yours!! :lol:
