January 2007: a walk around the house   

Early January has brought a lot of rain and the winter creek is running

The chestnut tree on the left is growing well. A possum tried to climb up the one on the right and broke off the branches. 

The olives have grown well.

More fencing:
After the "possum attack" on the chestnut tree we put up floppy wire fences around the chestnuts and walnuts. The "olive grove" is electrically fenced so that hungry horses won't feed on the olives.

The crab apples and natives still have no other protection against possums and wallabies than the grow tubes.

Telephone peas and snow peas

Tomatoes and Jerusalem Artichokes

Leek and Angelica

Corn and zucchinis

January 2007 in the orchard

Apple trees trained to wires. A vertical shoot is heading for the next wire!

Pear trees; cherry trees in the second row. 
Bulbs, herbs and flowers as companion plants.
