The Triangle was the first piece of land purchased and made an ideal temporay (caravan) home as it was close to the main road, which was quieter in 1999 than now. Comprising 700 sq metres of flat land, With 10 mature olive trees, it is semi- wild and is the garden of Trigono-Lamda. In December low growing plants cover the ground in yellow and by early May a riot of flowers of varying sizes and colours are in bloom, in stark contrast to the surrounding neatly tilled land. Wild thyme, mint and dill grow, as well as bamboo along the road border. The bamboo is cut annually in September, leaving a thin screen.

Chronology of Trigono - The Triangle

2010 - Ground under the olive trees was cleared and the trees fertilised. Tree trunks were painted white in traditional Greek garden style and the stone border originally made in 2000 was restored. A new footpath was constructed to the road, replacing the one built in 2000 which was destroyed when the road was finally surfaced in 2004. This will enable direct access by foot until there is an official road access.

2009 - The yukka trees planted years ago were mature enough to make an impact while the wild plants and shrubs had again colonised the bank below the main Nato road. Work therefore began to cut bamboo and landscape parts of the plot to enable easier management. Olives were harvested.

2008 - fence strengthened to keep out goats, young fig tree allowed to grow, cuttings taken from Yukkas to screen caravan. clearance in March and September. Road access approved and now awaited. December 2008 - Noted that many more Arisarum vulgare (Friar's cowl) Local Plants with their distinctive red-brown striped, cylindrical,flowers, were in bloom. No olive crop.

2007 - fence poles and wire strands set up, wall completed by neighbour, access track made but partially blocked. Direct road access applied for. White rose blooming in spite of severe drought

For the first time since the main road was completed, wild plants, including poppies have grown on the roadside bank. lack of proper access prevents tilling, but it is possible to walk through. By Law, every farmer has a right to access.

2001 - 2006. Twice yearly clearance by hand continued but the caravan was no longer occupied. Olives were usually harvested, 5-6 sacks per year. Restricted access means that harvesting must be by hand.

2000 - The Caravan was occupied and land cultivated, but stray goats and pigs interfered with crops. Neighbours were always helpful, if bemused by the lifestyle!

1999 - The plot was purchased in June, and the caravan situated in its present location. The plot was unfenced and water was drawn from the neighbouring well.
