Taking stock

So the garden has been nearly cleared and I figure it's time to take stock of what we have in there, what's worth keeping and what needs to be composted. :)

Like I said, the garden is in two parts, and for want of names, I'm going to call them the Left-Hand Side (LHS) garden and the Right-Hand Side (RHS) garden (geek!).

The layout of the RHS garden looks something like the diagram below. This is not to scale, I need to get the dimensions. I've roughly marked the placement of the different trees/shrubs as they are currently placed. The 'X's are the yet-to-be-identified plants.

Here's an inventory of the plants/shrubs/trees we already have in the two gardens. These are some of the main plants growing here.

The tall white wall I was talking about is visible in this photo.

Unidentified palms

Pretty arched window behind the palms

Sago Palm

Frangipani tree

Teak tree

Coconut

There are a few very beautiful Ixora bushes that are currently in bloom

Croton

Besides these, there are a couple of unidentified pink flowering trees and some Bougainvilla shrubs too.

Today the garden has been cleared up; the grass has been cut in the RHS garden, and the soil has been tilled in the LHS garden. And it started raining after all was done!!!

Waiting to plant......
