The Backyard
The backyard has a northern orientation, but has a lot of shade through a large gum tree. Most of the right section was used in the same way as a herb spiral. Plants requiring a dry environment were planted at the top, those with higher moisture requirements further down the slope. A variety of large pots were used where the ground was too rocky for direct planting.
In winter vegies were planted at the bottom of the rock garden in addition to the herbs.

Our "garden appreciation chair"
This elevated section at the very back contains many fruit trees and the chickens.

Herbs in pots close to the entrance for easy picking.
