Vacation in Québec, Summer 2009
May 11 - A hedge for more privacy
pratiquement rempli par la remise, il n'y a qu'une petite partie pour mon jardin de fines herbes.
Donc, c'est sur le terrain "à côté" que nous devrons aménager notre espace d'intimité.
Mais le problème: c'est ouvert sur la rue. Donc, première étape à réaliser: planter une haie.
The house is on a "double" lot. And there is no space in the backyard, all the space is taken by the shed.
There's only a small place for my herb garden. So, it's on the "side" lot that we will have to install our
table and chairs, therefore we need to build some "privacy" because the lot is open to the street.
The first step is to plant a hedge.
Remarquez à la droite du bâtiment au toit rouge, il y a un bâtiment avec un pignon vert au dessus de la porte:
C'est Le Jardin du Mont, le magasin favori de maman, à 2 minutes à pied.
Fruits et légumes, boucherie, boulangerie, poissonnerie, fromagerie...
Here is the view from our lot. With the Chinese Buffet just across the street.
Notice on the right hand side of the red roof building, there's another building with a small green roof over the door:
This is "Le Jardin du Mont", mom's favourite place for food, just a 2 minutes walk from the house.
Fruits and vegetables, butcher shop, bakery, fish shop, cheese shop...
pour réaliser le travail.
May 11. I hired cedar producer Alain Charron to do the work.
To get a straight hedge.
The guys are working hard under the sun.
And in just a little while the trench is dug.
Before
After
It made an enormous difference at once.
