I shall organize it by telling the story of its development from abandoned wasteland to a reasonable garden and hope that some people might enjoy dipping into it. This picture, just to start off, was taken last January (Summer in Brazil), when the garden was about 10 months in existence. The sculptured tree like structure is passion fruit which, apart from producing somewhere in the region of 300 fruits, also took over the back of the garden, forming a very heavy curtain of lush vegetation and flowers, attracting enormous bees. In the foreground is a rose garden, surmounted by the charming boy angel (bought in a little shop in Lymington)
I would be lying if I didn't say I'm not in and out of the garden at every possible moment. H.R.H Queen Elizabeth was not exaggerating when she referred to the English interest in gardening as an obsession!
