Greenish thumb

So what the hell have I been doing lately? Welllll, I have been turning my very brown thumb a nice shade of green now that I've taken to gardening. Was always intending to try this new hobby; after all I did make a committment when we purchased this house and large garden, that I would need to develop a knack for NOT killing plants! lol. My mum assisted my induction during her one week stay with us. We scoured nursuries and read books about plants and then proceeded to dig up and plant my garden.

One of the most exciting things is that I now have a herb and vegetable garden. Decided to start in pots, and then next year (God willing that everything survives), I will venture into digging a garden bed. Here are some photos of some of my progress so far. Additional photos of the front and back garden to come... Below is the first planting of the herbs and vegetables...

So glad they thrived through the recent storms...
