Last week we finally had the eucalyptus removed from the back yard on the East side. It was a nice visual screen between us and the neighbor's but it was an enormous tree that was very out of place for the location and required lots of trimming to keep it safe that near the house. Plus, I disliked the leaves it dropped, knowing it was pushing out other plants. I'm looking forward to planting a fruit tree near there instead.
On Saturday (2/17/24), a friend gave me a passion fruit vine, which we planted in the back yard near the back fence. I hope it will grow on the fence eventually.
Today, I fertilized the back vegetable bed, all the fruit trees, and a bit to the star jasmines. The many seeds I'd planted a few weeks ago in the vegetable bed germinated quickly and have been slow to do much since. I'm hoping the fertilizer will help. I really should thin them, too, but I haven't yet. I'm not the best at thinning
