Back yard: more changes

 
Sorry for the blurry photo! This view is from the back steps (gate coming next week!) looking over to Gwen's side, and you can see our fancy chicken coop. The girls get to run around outside quite  lot, so they are very happy well-fed chooks. The pearlwort, in between the pavers, is starting to grow and spread. It's slow-growing but oh-so-soft and lovely to touch, so it'll be worth it.


"Fig Corner" - the second passionfruit is finally taking off, the wormwood was given a severe pruning because it was doing very well, the fig and olive are both looking very healthy, but the vanilla bean is still pretty dormant. The bare lawn patch - where the boys were mixing up concrete and where soil/gravel mix was dumped - is slowly getting smaller. 


View up to the side driveway, where you can see the next retaining wall taking shape. Vegas is on the timber inspecting the quality, as you can see, or maybe just its scratchability. New pawpaws in place, and we're waiting for the bananas to arrive (all government/quarantined approved) to go in front of the pawpaws, on the lower level.


Side view showing the two new fence sections finished as of the weekend. Nice to close off the view to the neighbours' various cars and trailers.
