I am not much of a green thumb – actually to tell you the truth I am definitely not a green thumb, but obviously now that I have my own house and of course a backyard I have to do a little bit of gardening at least.

Yesterday I begun, I pulled out the conifer/pine tree in the back right hand side of the of the garden as shown in the image.

So that is step one of the makeover, I also got a some herb seedlings, chilli plants and strawberry plants really cheap from Stratco, they have been planted and hopefully they all survive – I just need to remember to water them.

The other next priority was a the passionfruit plant on the fence line – see image below

Well this morning when I got up that problem was being solved for me. My neighbour decided to start cutting it back or should I say butchering it back – not sure if it will end up surviving but I will be sure to keep watering it and maybe even organise some fertiliser.

There is more plants that I need to pull out, especially out the front of the house but the ground is so hard I think I will have to wait till at least some rain to be able to dig them out. Next thing to do will be to mow the lawns.
