My garden today

I've had a lot of comments from people wondering what my garden actually looks like, so I've decided to post some pics of it. This is looking out from the balcony where the study is, looking from right to left. The pictures actually do follow and overlap a bit.
It's a bit of a "before" scene, as a lot is going to change in the next few months. Madi's husband gave me a lot of ideas when they came for a braai (barbeque) a few weeks ago), and I'm dying to start.

The white bit in the photo below is a garden umbrella.

The pool area. On the left of the photo, behind the wall, there's another little garden filled with tropical looking plants. Excuse the mess, LOL, with the pool net etc.

The sandy bit at the top of the photo is where we're planting new trees to hide the neighbours house. There is another flower bed further to the right with my roses, and then the garden goes around the house to a kitchen garden where I've got a small herb flower bed.

It's big hey!

The photo's of your garden are lovely, but I have to say that the garden is lovelier in real life :-)

it IS nice, and NEAT. We have a minute pocket hankie in front, no lawn, but it is such a jungle I get a guilt trip every time i go out there. I need to spend less time blogging and more time weeding! LOL
