The view from the kitchen window has changed, we took out 3 lilli-pilli trees, you can see just one remains on the right hand side of the picture, we have planted apple trees, 4 so far they are dwarf column type trees that grow straight upwards, above are strawberries in the baskets and parsley behind the trees and mini agapanthus in front, looking forward to watch this area mature, and hope we get some lovely apples next year.
