We were cultivating a variety of weeds in our garden for the last 7 months or so since we moved in. There just wasn't time to do much and getting a professional landscapist was not at the top of our "To Spend On" list either. Until one day I looked down from the upstairs window and realized we could be encouraging some varieties of wildlife to move in as well.
Hence I decided to execute the plan that had been on paper for a while now. I had sketched some landscaping ideas for our side and back garden a few months back so on a long 5-day weekend, I prepared a shopping list of pebbles, soil, concrete slabs and plants and off I went to several nurseries and hardware suppliers around Miri. All of the usual friends I spend time with were bobbing around in Sipadan for a diving trip and Fabian was in Spain (yes, it was the same trip) so I had the whole 5 days to myself.
And here it is !! Our garden, finally done. Took me four and a half days, countless mosquito bites and a few aching joints. Most people might think, what is the fuss over some wild grass.....but it was driving me crazy! But it's all over now....yippee!

If only I could scan the original plan and put it up....it didnt look anything like this at all!!
