I am not an avid gardener. In fact, it was just a few weeks ago when we started to have a little garden with some herbs planted. I have a packet of seeds and two plant troughs ready to be used.Now is the right time to do this for the rains are aplenty and the weather is quite cool.
I was convinced by my husband to have these planted instead of flowers so that we can use these for our own consumption, however long the wait will be.
Lately, we have been discussing, or I have been convincing hubby to have a roof fitted on the front lawn. No, not the corrugated iron type but something like plastic or maybe fiberglass. Then we can put some garden furniture under that roof and spend some time there, instead of just always being cooped inside the house. That would be a wonderful place to have our homeschooling lessons when the mornings are cool. Afternoon would not be a good time because we have the afternoon sunlight there, like the one in the photo below.
This is a photo of the empty lawn with my younger children (my son in the photo and youngest daughter not in the photo) playing outside when the weather is cool. The lawn/space not big but it is big enough for some garden furniture.
So if we are not able to put that roof above the empty lawn, we can opt to use outdoor furniture covers for the furniture as protection from the heat of the sun and the rains.
