Some Spring Gardening - Adding some colour to the garden.

Whan it comes to gardening, and keeping plants alive, I'm a bit of black thumb. I can mow, dig, cut, plant, water. Keep plants alive... not my strongest suit. But spring is here, amd we'll hve another crack at it.

We haven't quite got to planning and planting flower beds, mostly out of fear they'll turn into a desert (exactly what happened to our last attempt), void of life, but we're okay with a few pots of colour here and there.

I pushed the mower up amd down, and did the back lawn as well, while Mrs MJ replace dead or dying plant with new ones. There are a lot of winter weeds about to get rid of as well, so hopefully the weed and feed treatments kick in, and the fertilizer gives the grass a nice boost. It should look good in a couple weeks time. I do need to get my edges done still, but that won't be too tough a job.

The final pot plant arrangement looks pretty good.

Mrs MJ also went for a hanging basket this season.

Let's hope these plants do better than the last ines!!

After a good few hours enjoying the outdoors, and getting the garden looking a bit better than the neighbour's, reward was an ice cold beer.

Note to self: Hurry up and find the parts to fix the coffee machine.

That's is for Saturday. Back to basketball tomorrow for both my boys' grand finals... nerves building!
