Block layers arrive to make a start

Our Block Layers arrived today after what has been a terrible few weeks of wind and rain, yes again. The continuous bad weather has made it difficult for progress on our home but they have finally arrived.

They will wrap the remainder of the house, and start a few courses towards the south front of the house. 

More soil placed into position for additional raised garden beds behind what is to be the future pool area

The new raised garden beds will be planted up with more tropical plants and palms. In between will be a pathway. Not certain yet what will be placed on the ground to walk on.

Internal of the Garage has been wrapped as well

Lambs Ears Plants x 2 on the front south boundary garden bed. Established plants look like the photo below

1 x sedum spathulifolium purpureum planted. This plant is so fragile, part of it broke off and I have planted into tubes x 3 for additional planting later

Whilst searching (googling) for the above photo came across an image of this Convolvulus, which I am now on a mission to find and hopefully plant soon too

Have purchased lots of other unique, exotic and interesting plants which once we have the new raised garden beds will be planting ..... more on that later. 

Have also purchased new seeds which I will start soon.

Back tomorrow to continue with the Block Laying.
