Back in the Yard Again

 So much of the ohana construction is complete, I have had fun returning to landscaping which has taken a back seat that last couple months as we stayed 2-3 days ahead of the contractors. Returning to the yard, it's really great to see very first bed I created, back in October 2012.  It is one bed that is visible from the ohana, on the south side of the property.

But, just to the right of the fully planted bed, was a hillside that had nothing done yet.  So the last couple days were spent weeding out, cleaning out old schrubs and dead wood, and building yet another beautiful lava wall for the front.  It's pretty rocky, so it will take just the right plantings to accentuated the natural ferns.

Today we took delivery of our second HUGE pile of red cinder.  We spread this much ALREADY over 1/2 acre, evening out the ground while digging the big chunks of lava. As we have renovated the yard, we have formed small cairns around the yard which get used for flower beds and more walls.The red cinder will be used to create additional parking for guests, and several other yard projects.

Piles of lava sit around the property justwaiting to be used.
