7 Holman Road Garden

Welcome green fingered friends, to the garden of 7 Holman Road. 


Observations and advice gratefully received.

THE BACK
1. Standing at left edge of driveway looking at back garden. This is what people currently see when they get out of their car. Front door is to the left of the picture, garage/carport to the right. Intention is to wrap a deck round this corner of the house which faces north. Washing line will move to west side of house.

2. Standing on the back door step, looking at the centre of the back fence. Intention is to either build new fence with neighbours (expensive) or if they're intending to keep corrugated iron, paint our side black and plant over it?



3. View of back corner looking left: grape vine, banana (plantain) tree and two unknown trees in view, as well as current shape of bed.


4. Grape vine. Not alone.
5. View of back lawn, with back to grape vine out of shot to left, unknown fruit tree left of picture.
Standing further back, down the shady south side of house, next to feijoa tree.
6. Close up of unknown fruit tree. Note diseased bark?

Close up of unknown fruit tree leaf. 



7. Close up view of bed between banana and unknown fruit tree. Intention is to pull everything in the bed out, including noxious weed to right of picture, out of view.


8. View of back looking north: horrid privet tree, orange and lemon hiding behind orange. 




 Zoom in to far right corner behind garage.

Close up of possible plant to salvage in background of previous shot. Seeded from neighbours. Also note yellow irises? Keep, move?


9. Shot reversed. Looking south.




CENTRAL GARDEN

15. Moving further in to property, same side.
