During the christmas break VEG’s Dan & family paid a social call to customers-become-friends Julian & Linda in Eaglemont.  We documented the large-scale design and implementation project we completed for Julian & Linda last year (see the design and during photos here and some shots of where it was all at about 10 months ago here).

The place is maturing beautifully and we took a few happy snaps of the back and front yards.  The topshelf VEG bed with flowers and grapes growing up over the trellised pergola is looking particularly lovely…

…and the main VEG beds are coming into some serious summer production…

… Amanda & Julian contemplating the enclosed fox & bird proof orchard (note the comfrey patch bottom left).  They have silver appleyard ducks (including four gorgeous ducklings) and several chooks…

…with Dan taking a look at the fruit trees in this clip (including a lot of multiplanting with up to four trees in one hole)…

…four-way peach & nectarine planting being serviced by a duck…

…we usually refuse to put in lawns, but Julian and Linda earned a little one with all their food gardens…

…the pond is looking lovely with clean water full of diverse insect life…

…and the front yard which is a food forest with some extra ornamentals is apparently creating a lot of interest on the street…
