Coming Up Roses

We have been working very hard in the garden and it is bearing fruit (literally). The lemon tree is exploding with juicy lemons and we are filling bags of them!

We also have a gorgeous rose bush that is still blooming beautifully. We will get some more for the driveway in September when it is rose season again.

Our roses are attracting the attention of the local ladybirds. These lovely darlings are helping us get rid of aphids and add some more life and colour to our garden!

But this does not happen on its own! It takes a long time to till the soil!

We have also had to till the soil where the jungle-gyms were situated. We have removed all the concrete and the soil is ready for planting. However, we will have to wait for spring in order to plant the grass.

We have a lot of blisters at the moment, but all is ready for a beautiful garden in the making!
