Mini Nursery started

I repotted all my ebay plants over the weekend. A total of 20 Nandina, 75 Dwarf Japanese Box, 15 Dwarf 'Strawberry Ice' Agapanthus and a Dwarf Bougainvillea from Bunnings. They should be nicely advanced by the time we plant them in our new gardens.

Plants on ebay

We are still waiting on drawings and engineers report etc so I thought I'd share my gardening ideas. I've been buying plants on ebay with a view to advancing them in the backyard of our rental in Illawong ahead of moving into our build which could be 9 months or a year away. Yesterday I potted 29 already advanced Clivias into 13 X 200mm pots which I bought on ebay for $24 and picked up.
The tallest are half fence height.

I have also bought 10 dwarf 'Strawberry Ice' Agapanthus which I have potted into large pots and ended up with 15 after separating a few.They were a bit more pricey, being a new variety at $39 + $13 delivery.

Yet to arrive are:
70 dwarf Japanese Box - $200 + $45 delivery,
20 Nandina - $30 + $13 delivery,
100 X 100mm pots and carry trays for Dwarf Japanese Box and Nandina which come in tiny 50mm pots - $60 + $13 delivery.

I already have a good collection of potted plants from bonsai to 2 metre Ficus Benjamina so will enjoy my mini Nursery.

Preliminary Drawings

Today we went to Elderslie and looked over our preliminary drawings which are great, just a couple of minor additions and changes made. Now we need to make a lot of colour choices but we already have some ideas such as bricks and roof tiles etc which we will post another time. When the drawings are done the engineer will make his plans and then a tender will be prepared. Very happy with the way Craig and Wayne are looking after us, it's great to deal with the actual builders.

Got the ball rolling

Hello fellow builders and friends. We are Loretta and John and have just purchased a block of land at "Camden Acres" Elderslie. We chose this block as it was one of the last two remaining blocks which overlooked the golf course.

Today we paid our deposit for tender, initial drawings and engineer's report. We have chosen Cavalier Homes Macarthur for the job. The house design is The Jenmark - two storey with front verandah and upstairs balcony to take in the views of Studley Park Golf Course.
We will post floor plan etc asap.
