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.

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.

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.
