Now that I've finished the planting in my Mum's garden I've started to make some more serious decisions about mine. I've neglected it a bit because I'm not really sure what to do with it, and it's mostly filled with vegies gone to seed. I've decided to pull up everything in the main beds and replace with a mix of basic shrubs, mostly natives, and just keep the two raised planters with vegies in them. That should keep everything neat and be low maintenance, without costing too much. I'll get cheap tubestock that will hopefully grow a bit before the house goes up for sale and fill in the garden a bit and I'll fill in all the gaps with mulch. It will probably be a few days of solid work, but at least I won't have to cart soil or do anything too heavy.
