A long video about the front garden. Grab your popcorn!
It's been a while since I posted about the garden and much has changed with the changing seasons.
We've pretty well got the front the way we want it - minimal maintenance and mostly hardy perennials.
So much has flowered this year and is bearing fruit... I just hope the birds don't get it before we do. We'll have to net some of the trees for the first time to protect our crop. In summer, flocks of Corellas come to wreak havoc on the surrounding parks. Maybe this year they will notice our garden but I hope not.
Anyway, this video is a pretty detailed look at the plants in the front yard. More videos will be coming detailing other parts of the house.
Enjoy!
This is #originalwork. The video was taken and edited by yours truly.

I love the garden! I'm in Portugal and the climate is similar to Australia. This is a bounty of information for me and honestly an inspiration. You get good microclimate benefits, medicines, fibres, herbs and food from your garden with seemingly low input. I've taken plenty of notes from this video of species and uses that I didn't know about before, cheers for that. I appreciate the classic Aussie proverb of "give it a go and see what happens" and you've demonstrated the effectiveness of that brilliantly. I look forward to seeing the evolution of your garden.
How large is your growing area do you think? And how long has it taken you to bring it all together?
Thank! We're started in October 2015. There's a whole lot of passive solar, water conservation and good stuff been put into the house. Our blog www.ligayagarden.online has more info as does out Facebook page Ligaya Garden.
