Tom has kindly sent me some photos of the garden before chooks, greenhouse, vegetables and pond moved in…

No, this is not a joke… they are still dealing with the mass of bougainvillea that came out of that hedge. (It has made way for grapevines.)

Here are some of the early vegetable crops, while the lawn was being eradicated, one patch at a time…

And here’s the pond under construction…

…and finished.  Ta-da! Thanks Tom and Vanh… inspiring work!
