Nosy Neighbour

Do you have a nosy neighbour?

I have one of those, that thinks my business is her business. It's often difficult to have any sort of privacy in the backyard.

Now that our garden is evolving we like to socialise out the back (having the neighbour adding to our conversation is really not part of the plan).

You can purchase fence extenders etc but I think they are quite unsightly.  At the end of last summer I purchased these pittosporum to form a hedge. Hopefully by the end of next summer we will have a little more privacy.

From what I know about pittosporum, they like full sun and to be well watered. I have been tip pruning regularly to keep them bushy and giving them an occasional treat of liquid fertiliser.

At the base of the hedge I have planted mass, white carpet roses. I had a magical display last year.

I purchased the pittosporum from Willow Park Nursery at Pialligo. I do quite a bit of shopping around. I wanted to get the biggest plants for the lowest price.

I will post some more pictures later on.....
