The DRIVEWAY
The driveway
itself is
actually pretty
long.
The left side
is straight up
cliff.
The right side
is straight
down
cliff...
The stream is
below to the
right, and
follows the
whole
property.
Not a lot of
space to work
with so we
wanted plants
that wouldn't
spread too
much.
Notice the
papaya trees
started
above.
In January,
2013, several
of the trees,
still shown
above right,
just tipped
over into the
gulch, by the
stream. This
started a
fracture line,
which was a
precurser to a
land slide,
possibly taking
part of our
driveway! So we
hired an
excavator, who
built a rock
retaining wall,
to hopefully
prevent this
from
happening!
2014
We are losing
more of the
driveway edge
so will hire
our excavator
again, to
continue the
rock wall, and
to dig out some
of the left
wall to move
the driveway a
little over...
This was taken
from the other
side of the
stream.
Notice the
retaining wall,
about an inch
from the
top.
Our rushing
river...

Gate:

Outside the
gate, to the
right is where
the mailbox
will
go...
All my
impatients
died, and the
pigs ate the
elephant ear
plants, and dug
up the soil...
so in March
2013 I planted
some mother in
law tongue
plants, a red
ti, more
pineapples, and
some
rocks!
March 2014
Pineapples
have started to
form on the
plants
here.
There is also a
Poinsetta I
planted, on the
right, and a
couple more Tis
, and other
plants ..
