This blog will tell you about my garden....what it looks like from week to week, season to season. There's no logic to its layout. We inherited its basic structure from previous owners. It's too expensive to change so I've made the most of it. It started off completely devoid of any plant life apart from a struggling rosemary officinalis which I allowed to live until it started to get a bit thuggish. The trees and all the planting has been introduced over the past 7.5 years.

Symi in bloom.
Such beautiful flowers to enjoy here on Symi until the heat sends most of them into hibernation until next Spring.
It's good to see a fellow gardener tending his precious plot. We've noticed that more gardens have a combined use of vegetables/flowers nowadays. Sign of the times but hopefully the owners are enjoying their homegrown veggies once more. So far we've seen toms, potatoes,courgettes, onions, salad leaves, rocket, herbs (mint and basil - oregano and thyme grow in profusion all over the island). Some people are lucky to own orange and lemon trees too.
This poor plant is suffering from the winter battering of ferocious rains...hopefully it will rally. Will check when we come back in September.
