Stone Walls

Before
  A huge rock with small stone walls built on it to create small (not so  successful) spaces to plant herbs. We removed the walls – see pile of stones on left.
After
                                                                                  The stones are used to make edging around the beautiful monumental rock.















Cacti from elsewhere in the garden will be moved to this area . . .

Infancy

The cauliflower seedlings are just breaking through the soil.

Pansy seedlings planted with the butter lettuce















I collected a load of old Oak planks – used at the lacal wine cellar to flavor the wine. "Re-cycle" or "Up-cycle". . . the gates to the vegetable garden, made with the planks.
