Lots has been going on- we had family with us over Easter and we visited Bussaco Palace which had a beautiful wisteria arbour in full bloom.
We've been busy working on outside areas- trying to get steps up from our small side garden. It still needs some work but it's already helping the rain issue- which used to run down the bank and mess up the garden at the bottom!
We've also got the vegie garden planted up- we decided to downscale it this year as the spring had been so dry and we were concerned about watering, but since we planted it up it hasn't stopped raining! We've just kept it to a small area and grown the things we use alot- various salads, courgettes, squash, carrots, tomatoes, peppers, chillis, and a few runner beans, cucumbers etc
The garden we planted up last year by the house entrance is filling out nicely aswell so we're feeling pretty chuffed that we are starting to create real garden areas out of the very rocky and very wild land we have here!
