The Garden

We have a pool in our villa grounds and around it we have some tiles. The rest of the area was just left covered in stones. 18 months ago we had the garden landscaped by a local (Spanish) gardener. We felt hat he would know more about the best plants to use. I put in some automatic irrigation and left it all to the Lady of the Villa having no interest in plants.
The garden is now a credit both to the gardener and her Ladyship. The plants have been well chosen and the Lady has nurtured, feed and loved them.
  The garden is looking better and better, the Bougainville is blooming and considering that they started as twigs 18 months ago its growth is amazing as are the flowers.


Fruit tees are bearing, lemons and oranges, the lime tree is lagging behind, Funny story, when we came back from a trip last year The Lady of the Villa  picked all the lemons came to about 5 kilos, however, they went off within two weeks and we had to buy lemons! Better to leave them on the tree and pick them as needed! The tree is only now recovering its fruit load.
