Do you like our new catmint planter?

Very impressive!!! You've got a beautiful layout, good path shape! It's going to look absolutely great! The catmint planter is excellent - shame it scares the dogs.

I can't wait to see your own fresh tomato sauce with Basil. :D Heaven.

Thanks :)

We had a nursery owner do the design as we love the gardens on his property. We are doing the interpretation and work (and placement of Doxie statues, of course ;)). It'll take another year to finish the structure and then we wait for everything to grow - the hard part!

Tonya, glad you like the commentary. Shane's eyebrows raised quite a lot when he saw the bit about making a dragway down the garden :eek:

Deeply in awe!

That must be the most impressive thing I have ever seen done by two people. I thought only royals could do that- with lots of people. Like the pharaos with the pyramids.

That is so gorgeous.

Note to self: why do you never travel to Australia

Oh I just love it Nicole when you post a PinkKitchen update!!
Great photo's as usual - and the commentary upto your usual excellence!!

Strange peeps you Ozzies - we prefer gravy on our spuds!!!

Give me a shout when the pasta with fresh tomato and basil sauce is ready - my spoon is packed!!!

I don't believe for one minute that those cute hounds would trample anything !!!!

Of course you're into Spring aren't you - so in a couple of months you should see burgeoning plants everywhere!!

I do hope the cats appreciate the cat mint grown just for them!!!

WOW.......
Now I'm VERY jealous! We have alot of space in our backyard as well & it looks nothing like what you've done!
Did you get these ideas from books or just make it up as you went along? Are you going to plant strictly flowers or do you have a different design in mind?
Sorry for all the questions....I just LOVE gardening & seeing what others people's designs are!!!!:D
LOOKS GREAT!

It looks great!

Shame on you! I can't imagine those two sweet animals would trample a garden.

Dig it up, maybe - but trample - NEVER! :D
