Day 11 07/10/14: Lawn Mower fail / First part of flower bed

OK so the ramp...Louise did use those pieces of wood used under the house while I was in Papamoa on Saturday. So, well, I dunno, lol. Everything worked out well in the end :)

The weather has been pretty terrible the last few days, very rainy and windy...apparently there was an Earthquake as well!   Finally had the chance to mow the lawn today:

Before


After:



That's right after 10 minutes and a phone call to Louise I was finally able to get the lawn mowing going (it's seen better days)...the machine was so loud that I turned the strength down a bit it and it stopped.  Then I could not get it started again and the rotor cable hasn't reeled back in.  The above picture shows the 1 meter of grass I was able to get done in that time sigh.

Instead I put some more dirt on the potatoes so that they won't breach the surface yet and decided to use the time to start on the next part of the garden:

Before:


Then using these Tullips that me and Louise had discussed needed to move out of the box because they were falling over and running out of space:


Became this:



Hmm I feel the picture doesn't do it justice, it looks a lot better!

I took out the lights, only a few of them still work - will see which ones do then consider a place to use them in a garden cos I think they look pretty cool (maybe next to the path to the woodshed)


Would also like to put a plant into this pot, will need to discuss a plan with Louise.




Over the next few days I'm going to work my way down the area next to the back door, weeding and then planting some herbs / flowers.  Might re-arrange it around a little bit.

Ideas to Pursue:
Security light outside wood shed
Stars to bottom level of garden (currently only middle level)
Repair fences / gates
Shed next to PAB?
Build maze (lol!)

Short term plans:

Re-draw Garden with new plan (maybe not necessary for smaller parts)
Herb plants at door
Flower bed at door
Mow Lawn
Path to wood shed / end of garden
