The ball is rolling again

We've been slowly getting back into the garden. We took a well deserved break for a while. In mid-June we got some soil/compost delivered and topped up the garden beds.

And now today we planted some society garlic and laimium plants:

Bedroom Garden Bed

We are now half way through transplanting all plants from the bedroom garden, so we can top up that garden bed with fresh soil/compost.

This is what the bedroom garden looked like at the start of March 2008:

This is how it looks after today's transplanting efforts:

We'll need to add a 20cm layer all across this bed so it is filled to the height of the new brick pavers.

So there has actually been alot of changes in the garden recently. Progress feels so slow though. Next Saturday in between packing to go to Fiji, we'll be:

• installing some irrigation to the east-end garden bed
  
• putting in some garden edging around the bedroom garden

Yes, progress is slow but every little step is actually getting us closer to the end.

What do you think? Do you ever feel discouraged because progress in the garden seems too slow? Leave me a comment with your thoughts.
