Well today we update the landscaping project:
first our X Spot photo showing the start of our living bamboo fence that will come off the corner of the kitchen window.
When the lot was graded for drainage they took all the topsoil off and that's why we had to bring in all the organic soil from the mountains. Well to plant that bamboo fence and other trees this week they had to dig (with a pick) deep and wide so we could fill below and around the roots with organic fertilizer and topsoil to give them a chance to make it. Here is what the ditch for the Bamboo looked like just prior to planting.
Here is a shot of the planted row
and from another angle. it will be getting a gate on the side next to the house which is on the left and will be extended out to the perimeter wall which will be on the right once it is built.
Meanwhile on the other side of the house our citrus grove started with several 3-4 foot wide and 2.5 foot deep holes.
which many hands made quick work of the planting process. ( this sneaky shot was from the balcony )
Now we just have to wait a year or so for fruit but we will have plenty of lemons, oranges and limes. Yet to be planted are the apples, peaches and the avocado.
They will be in the ground by this time next week as they are sitting on the sidelines right now.
see ya next week.
