GARDENING? (Languedoc)

Here are some photos to follow on from the previous post, first batch are the main garden. Flower bed with no flowers but a hammock for a splash of colour, also shows off the cliff face that runs along the side.

The 'driveway' before it got stoned, and before the fence went up at the bottom of the garden so you can see the mysterious concrete chicken coops?

 And finally the extensive lawns - pitiful, hopefully this will be transformed by the end of the summer.....

This is the upstairs garden. looking towards the town centre, retaining terrace stone wall to left, and in front of that all the rubbish swept up and hidden under some plastic. There must have been an out building here at some stage, this pile of broken tiles and bits of concrete has a light skim of soil and will become a rockery - if I could just get plants to survive from year to year.






Looking in the other direction.

Finally the top garden, a wilderness that I manage to cut my way through each year and then it grows back again. Why do the things you want to thrive, don't and vice versa. I could hold a record for growing ivy.
