Over the last fortnight our gardeners have been working on the landscaping of our garden. This has involved huge amounts of earth moving to create a more 'user friendly' slope, so that a) we do not slip over when walking down the hill and b) when I attempt to cut the grass my mower does not topple over!

Now that we have planted the new baby olive 'sticks' we have to install irrigation other wise they will not survive.



The local co operative who supply all irrigation equipment also have a man who comes with this machine to carve a trench ready for the water pipes to be laid which is done manually.




These are our new trees.



We have also planted against the pool house and along the side of the pool infinity wall will be planted next week. Note the chateau at the top.



A nice day for late October and the garden still very much in colour. We have sewn grass seed over the rest of the garden so hopefully next summer we will be looking green rather than brown!
