My Garden III

Its a long time since i last talked of my garden. With retirement and dog grooming at home, also out with ann on so many events going on, my garden was a bit of bad shape. Now with ann in australia with her husband, i got the time to go back to my garden and starts to replanting the seeds that were given to me by the net friends. Thanks very much to them.

Finally some of the plants started to bloom.




This is a plant that i dont know what it is called. It is the only seed that survive from seeds given to me....and i must say it is a very nice color flowers. Am thinking how to replant it, whether it is from seeds, or can i just cut a branch and plant it to see if it can live.

Orchids that blooming at the present















My Catcus














Small white flower














Red flower. Put too much ferterlizers thats why it is drying off at the back.

House Renovation

Moving into the present house for almost 20years, but never even paint it once at all for the outside...althought i did painted the interior. All i did since moving in was to tile my car porch which cost alot.....and that was almost 10 years ago. So after the trip back from Eygpt, i finally had to do something to my house.

Now, both fencing on the side broke down and in order not to let the dogs running out, i had to come out with money to build wall instead of fence. This time instead of getting contractor, i got my sister's nephew to supply his worker for a week. All i need to pay is the worker's daily money and the material. So with the puppies sold, the money went to renovate the house.

Before














The worker was making a small garden in front of the house














The walls coming up replacing the fence














Had the hanger installed so that i can hang the flower pots there



I decided to have the wall lower than before so that i can place some flower pots on top.















After (Still doing as you can see the flowers are all lying on the floor)















Finally














Planning to do my backyard next year....so need to start saving money now.
