The fig tree in the corner

After weeding the patch out the side of the house, we've put manure and straw down. The plum trees gave some good fruit when we moved in and the fig tree in the corner is still bearing fruit.

The back garden

The kaffir lime tree made it all the way from Melbourne, minus a few leaves, but with some manure and straw, we've had some new growth and even some fruit. The quince tree in is just about ready for picking. Just beyond it is our vegie garden with celery, cabbage, raddish, lettuce, basil, radish and snow peas. The chicken coup in the background sits in front of the citrus trees that the chickies have taken a liking to and roosting there for the night on a couple of occasions.

Garden under the bedroom windows and the verandah

More of that green grass in front of the house and an impressive bird of paradise bush. Just a few steps lead you up to the front door from under the verandah.

The side and backyard

Again, early photos of the side and backyard, nice lush green grass and great blue skies.

3 Lincoln Drive, Portarlington

These photos were taken back in November, showing the property at its finest, lush green grass, a well established garden, views out to the You Yangs, beautiful blue skies, all ready for a huge transformation.
