This is another before-and-after post. The above photo was taken in November, the one below just now.
The fence has not been completely freed of weeds: the ivy has been cleared, but the Wandering Jew is now creeping through the fence, and the ivy has to be completely uprooted from the earth on our side of the fence-line, but you can see that we have made some progress. And a few of the new plantings are visible in the fore-ground acacia leprosa (Kinglake variety).
Also, note the 100 red gum fence-posts which we had delivered at the bottom of the drive on Friday. We felt like we were contestants in The Biggest Loser, moving that 2-ton pile of wood! The sound timber will become the supports for our vegie boxes, herb-gardens and retaining walls; the unsound wood will keep us warm this winter. And at $2 a stick it was definitely worth the workout.
