Update on Clark's landscaping project

Here's the latest on the landscaping underway in our backyard....

Clark's quickly developing another favorite hobby:) He's really enjoying this project - he said the other day that he briefly entertained the idea of throwing in the pharmacy towel and landscaping full-time! Must say - he's really good at it:) plus he's the sexiest garden boy I've ever seen! :)

Few weeks ago, all the rocks were finally laid for the path...

Then Clark started filling up the spaces around the rocks with pea gravel and bought these bamboo sheets to cover the plastic fence and give the garden a more rustic feel...

Then he made "flower" beds and the planting started...

This is the latest picture - we now have 4 palms, two other little bushes (Clark needs to come edit these posts and put in relevant information like plant names!) and a strilitzia (hope I spelt that correctly!) aka "bird of paradise". Clark was insistent on a strilitzia somewhere in the garden because it reminds him of home ie. Uitenhage. I think it's a nice idea to put personal touches like that into our garden:) He also started planting some Korean grass (that he doesn't have to mow) on the side of the pic. Next on the project list are the water-feature and the table and chair/outside eating area.

We'll keep you posted:)
