The Wilderness Garden - Part 4

Next installment :)

Nesting Box for the chooks.

Believe it or not under the lily leaves are two gardens - #1 & #2 in my garden diary. The bulbs of the lily are at least a spade depth deep, possibly more.

This is a peach tree, that grew from a stone, that came from the tree, that grew in Ma & Pa's backyard. I just realised that sentence has a, "This is the house that Jack built!" ring to it  :D  He gave us the seedling and it has grown quite well over the years. It seems to be naturally espaliering itself along the fence. Last year we even had a small peach from it :)

A close up of the blossom. I'll have to read up on how to prune it.

 These Arum Lily's are growing behind the greenhouse. I can see there are also the other lily's too.

This shows a better view of the area I want to make a small retaining wall and path - photo-bombed by a chook!

The children's playhouse we built. Well used by ours and many visiting children.

The playhouse even has a trapdoor inside with a ladder down to this path below. A bit overgrown at the moment though.

The patio area we created a few years ago. Lots of work needed here, I have plans though!

A wider view of the patio. It's quite a big area. I'd like to replace the picnic table at some stage.

The light in this shot isn't so great. We built the pergola a number of years ago and did have seats under it. At one point they were old church pews we carried all the way up! The trailing pieces are a rambling rose with lovely white blooms. It would be lovely to sit here again but . . .

. . . the chooks roost above here at night and this is the result. That's not dirt but chicken manure! Great for the gardens, not so great for the head :P  There is also an ivy plant that grows freely and tenaciously.

Hiding in the shade of the playhouse are some worm bins.

No, not a hole, the goldfish pond. There is even still one goldfish alive!

Beside the pond is a sycamore tree, which may have to come down soon as it is getting quite large. Although the rest of it looks like a bank there is a walled garden under there. I think that Boar has been dumping weeds there. I know that the latest lot are ones form Butcher's weeding efforts. And, yes, there is more of the horrible lily!
