What is STILL happening here...

Well, the fencing contractor is MIA and we have a whopping hole in the backyard where the old Paling Fence used to be.

With the removal of the Large Prunus tree next door and the onset of Autumn we have been able to have a good look at our Japanese Maples.
Sadly we feel that they are going to have to be removed as well - They are so damaged from years of struggling for light and nutrient as well as infestation by Borers.

It looks like I will be working with a "Blank Canvas".  

Time to sharpen my pencil and get the graph paper out!

DH always worries when I do that - but this time it is 'just' the garden.

It is the perfect time of year to be working on a project like this.

I think - maybe some more Native Grevilleas to bring in the birds. And perhaps we will finally get that Jacaranda we have always wanted.
