Typhoon Meranti 梅蘭蒂
Where a very large tree used to be at the community garden
The tree fell down and slid over the stairs toward the ravine below.
The tree was dislodged from this retaining wall.
Stones of the retaining wall are scattered over the garden stairs.
Looking back up the stairs
The garden post-Typhoon Meranti
The understorey
Most of the guavas are still there.
These beautiful papayas were saved by the fact that the tree had grown above the hoophouse structure, keeping it from falling.
More of the understorey
Pinecone Ginger (aka Shampoo Ginger) flower
Didn't lose any bajiao trees, this one will be harvested next.
And then this one next
The young fruit trees doing fine. We let the paper and other mulberry trees grow up a bit around the fruit trees before we cut them back.
Mugwort in the understory, sunny side
Dragon fruit that the birds, then butterflies got.
Looking back through the garden from the compost side.
Just a small fraction of Thai sweet basil and other medicinal herbs that we harvested and shared.
Pair of hens that have forage in the compost area
Look at the legs on that hen. No wonder that she is a formidable foe to many would-be predators. She arrived in the garden at a fifth or less of her current size.
Cocky rooster - despite the larger hens of a different breed, this dude does not give up ground when it comes to foraging for food, hence his comb shows hen-pecking damage.
