The Olive Tree area is to the right of the Back Flowerbed. I used to have a wonderful area of sword fern growing in this area. The olive tree did not cast such a deep shade at then, that probably helped the ferns grow then.
Currently:
African Daisies grow in the front part now and there are a few struggling sword ferns left. I planted a pink Abutilon bush some years ago, it is pretty big for the area and I may move it. There is also springri fern on the back of the olive tree.
Work to do:
First, the right hand border of this area has rather fallen apart and been taken apart through the years. This needs to be fixed.
Second: The little building to the right of the olive tree is the new chicken coop (in-progress). We haven't had chickens for quite a few years and are planning to get a couple this spring. The wire fencing around the chicken run is in the process of being removed. The chicken run has been used as a compost area for several years and this will all be removed, the compost will be used as a top coating in the back flower bed.
Third: research what should be planted in that area, prepare soil, buy and plant!!
Fourth: Restore the wire fencing for the chicken run.
As this photo shows, this area really needs some renewal!!
