This is the top bed of the front garden. It contains six citrus trees; lime, lemon, orange, mandarin, and two cumquat (one variegated).
Previously, the trees were in pots around the back of the house until I got fed up of nursing the trees during the hot Western Australia summer.
Having the trees in the ground is much easier. The lime tree is doing well, but the other trees have yet to prove that they can produce. Although, given that most people I know have a lemon tree, perhaps I can get a different tree to the lemon if it does not work out.
The citrus trees are underplanted with self-sown Tansy and Garlic Chives.
I have also planted Marjoram along the front path, and Mullein has self sown near the grapefruit tree.
There is also an Australian native creeper that I purchased from the Friends of Kings Park that is growing on the wall shared with our neighbour.
jacqueline's Tiny Orchard garden is an outdoor garden and is located in Perth, Australia and currently contains 20 plants.

I’ll have to measure it Cricketk. I’m not very good at estimating or quantity surveying. But I can tell you it is a very big area with only enough room to squeeze through the trees.
