Saturday worked out

Helper turned up and was very helpful. Willing to take direction. Not always thinking about the next step, but a good worker. Glad to have him back if I need more work - and I probably will need help trimming the fruit trees in a few weeks after the leaves have all dropped.

It'll give me time to consider exactly how I want the layout of the trees for next season.

  • dig up galangal out of lounge room vegepod
  • acquire chainsaw/lopper
  • acquire wooden pallets
  • spray Slasher weedkiller under frangipani

plans for front lounge bed/tunnel

  • dig trench for sugarcane
  • chop up sugarcane for planting
  • plant sugarcane & galangal

plans for chook yard

  • take out sunflower branches
  • rake up chook deep litter
  • dig up fig, put in black box
  • make platform for chook feeder
  • dig hole for mulberry along boundary line
  • dig hole for kumquat along fenceline (inside)
  • (dig hole for apricot, lychee, apple along outside fenceline, staggered with kumquat)

extra things done

  • pull out dead apricot
  • plant lychee

more thoughts

  • blueberries in pots - where could these go?
  • still have apricot, apple, kumquat, fig(s), tea bushes, longan, black sapote, ice cream bean (sheesh I have a lot of trees)
  • pruning fruit trees after fruiting
  • flowering bush/shrub in box on back porch
  • assorted plants out back
