We moved to a new house 3 months ago. It's been winter-y. But today we've finally got out and done some stuff!

(Well, I guess a couple of weeks ago we started, I advertised some palms and box hedges on freecycle, and someone collected the lot. And we transplanted one of the many rosemary bushes into a place that makes more sense to us:-) )

With the palms gone, we could finally begin our Citrus Grove, so we've planted out the Puggle's Blood Orange:-) And even better, we have a hole dug and fed, waiting for a lemon (just waiting for nap-time to finish, and we'll go get one—it's hardly an Australian backyard if there's no lemon tree!). Which means I'll then feel justified in calling it a 'grove'—one tree does not a grove make:-)

And Puggle's raised bed now has soil in it, and we've put a couple of seedlings in, and he's added a stack of seeds:-)

We're underway:-) (And what a beautiful day it is, too:-) Perfect for being out and doing stuff:-) )
