He also bought us an old Hills Hoist washing line from a neighbouring farm that wasn't being used as we did not have one and installed it for us and re-wired it (thanks Barry and Jan!). Quite a bit of the fence was also recycled. Dad picked up a lot of the posts, struts and other bits and pieces from farm clearing sales or from rubbish tips.
A rose photo especially for my Mum and for Annie who inspires me with her garden and her garden photos. Lucky a previous owner labelled a lot of the roses. Not so lucky we have Evie who is already trying to pull all the labels out.
I love Pierre de Ronsards and other climbing roses. This arbour has 8 different ones climbing all over it.
The vegie patch is weeded and mulched and I am off to plant some seedlings.
Wow what a wonderful dad you have for doing all those jobs for you. You must feel much better knowing the fence is secure now. I love roses too but never saved the names of mine either. Have fun with your veggie garden.
