Look back

A quick look at the fountain area now. i really enjoy peoples projects and love watching them evolve into what is happening inside the builders head. i get so involved in some of the projects that i even get a sense of self satisfaction when someone else finishes a project and show the completed picture. 

however every so often i come across deeply gripping projects, you know like that TV series that you almost cannot wait for the next episode. except these projects come very close to completion and then the builder and the updates just disappear. in vain you visit the blog, YouTube channel or forum thread, hoping you missed the update and could catch the next exciting bit but only to be disappointed. some of these projects never, ever reappear. 

being busy with a grocery money project myself i understand that some projects take long. you work in spurts that are powered by every little bit of cash you can squeeze out of your budget. these projects do take long and updates are few, but they get completed. so i thought i must show off what the fountain area looks like now. i'm very happy with the way it turned out.

i added some edging around the beds and raised the level of the soil to make the beds a little more level. planted some greenery (this is going to take a little while to grow and fill the area). most of the flowering plants have started flowering - that was with a little coercion using some refined chicken manure. it is in powered form and waters into the ground really quickly. less stench and a nice little kick start for the newly planted plants. 

.the grass however seems to be taking its time. hope that it will show face again in summer!
