spring time and planting

The amount of planting that has happened in the past month is fairly insane. 


C put about 20 rosemary plants in the ground, 3 gorgeous Pride of Madeiras (aka Alien Plants), some rockrose, sage, a Bottlebrush shrub and maybe 10 or 15 Carmel Creepers


This is all part of the backyard revamp project. We're working towards creating a more child-friendly area so that E can entertain over the summer. We're using the rosemary bushes as a natural wall instead of a fence and planting big cushy shrubby areas to prevent little ones from tumbling down hills.




C also planted another orange tree (Roberts Navel), a yellow peach and has a Gobi berry ready and waiting. The Gobi Berry is an experiment...it was on sale. 


Next up: leveling out the play area, reworking a vegetable box into a sandbox, figuring out some durable ground-cover and planning where to hang the shade-sails we found at Ikea.


ps- in other news...we have a walker! (Thanks to J for the photo)
