I'm passionate about this fruit!

 Today we built a trellis out of recycled jarrah timber for passion fruit vines.

Our friend Richard re-roofed an old building in the city of Perth and my Dad and my brother collected all the old timber. 3½ tonne of beautiful old jarrah!




We set the three posts 2m apart and 2m high.

 Dad mixing the cement.

 And we poured it in at the base of each post.

Trying not to get splashed.

















The three posts setting in the concrete!

I will complete this with stainless steel wires, passion fruit vines & compatible herbs planted in the garden bed just in front of the trellis.

Thanks so much Dad!

With a scratch, scratch here and a scratch, scratch there!

Earlier in the year I spread our mulched tree wood chips all over the weeds in my garden. It did a great job in stopping them growing out of control over summer.

 Today we made a moveable chicken pen to put over areas where weeds have re-sprouted. Dad's in the background working on the passion fruit trellis (more about that next post).

 We collected the girls and put them in.

 Lucy & Penny.

 Raven.

 Curiousity and the Cat!

Bock, Bock! The girls are very happy!

Indian Summer

Well by half way through Autumn I thought I would have had most of my plants in - but with our Indian Summer in Perth going on and on - I have held off. So with a few showers predicted for early next week and the temperature finally under 30 degrees - this weekend should be a productive one in my garden! In the mean time I have been busy compiling my report, which is coming together nicely.
