Well, I am finally nearing completion of this goal. Hooray!
I saw a friend’s garden which I really liked. So I got the name of the landscape gardener who did it. He did a design for my yard in December 2007 and started work in early March 2008. The garden is now half-landscaped and should be finished (plantings in but not fully grown of course) by end of March / early April.
I can’t wait. Finally a nice place to relax and a safe place for my toddler to play in.
OK, it is costing a lot more than if I did it myself, but I am considering this a luxury instead of taking an overseas holiday. (Plus if I planned to do it myself, it would NEVER get done!)

One-quarter Librarian
8 months ago
I have completed my first year of study – got ‘high distinctions’ for the two units I took. There are 6 more units to go, so now I can officially say I am one-quarter Librarian. ;)
At the rate I am going, it will only take me 3 more years to finish the course!
one year later...

About time! I finally got around to getting someone to quote on doing the landscaping in the back yard. Expecting the quote back in a few days. Getting urgent now that my son is 16 months old and wants to play outside but we can’t let him loose in the wasteland beyond our back door.
