I'm back on track!!!

It took me some time to get back on track with the garden project, especially documenting it.

During my stay in Belgium my mother passed away at the age of 63, rather unexpectedly. Love you mama.

So, gardening, everything is moderately growing well, seeing that this still is the dry season and I try not to water more than absolutely necessary.

I have taken some pictures during my tour around the garden 7 30AM and will post them here to explain a bit of philosophy regarding some things, as well as to show of the simple beauty of nature.

Enjoy guys, and don't forget, if any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Magnolia x alba, the white hybrid of Magnolia(Michelia) champaca. Bought these trees as the lovely smell attracts a lot of bees, a good pollination asset for the future food forest.



I just had to show of this beauty. My white frangipane tree, the only one of 3 with big flowers. This is just one clump, there are over a hundred of these and bigger now on a tree twice my height and about as wide in all directions.



Jackbean, thanks to Jeff Rutherford at Fair Earth Farm for the lovely seeds. They are doing well under the trees, where they have been planted as an initial nitrogen fixator for the already existing trees in the garden. As these produce seeds, they will be repopulating other areas in the garden, the plants will be mulched at the bottom of the trees.
