2007-2009 The Sustainable Plot Thickens.

The banana palm on the house lawn stands in front of the un-glassed glass house which is covered in Virginia Creeper.

View from the back door. Note the no longer needed corrugated iron wind break lying on its side. These raised bits of our old roofing came in very handy for plant protection, and looked exceedingly ugly much to the disdain of our neighbours.  

The Leyland Cypress hedge is great for wind protection from the prevailing westerlies we have up here  on top of the hill.


The Tiger Lily garden in front of the bus.

Vegetable garden in the making, with Flax wind-break and hardly discernible rows of  baby Feijoa trees sheltering in rows in between.

Deceivingly tidy lawn which the lawnmower man has been very erratic at keeping.

Hiding the house bus is a slow and agonizing task. Hopefully once the
outside is overgrown it will look a little more inviting. 

Looking into the Olive grove.
