Our own ‘Machu Picchu’ is the one of the last areas where we have not yet concentrated our gardening efforts. It is vertiginous at the top and strimming the natural grasses is a challenge. We have planted furcraeas on the steepest section to spread and to retain the soil. A couple of cardoons have self seeded and will be left as they make significant plants in stature and form. We will add to these. At the lower end we have Kniphofia and Pujadas to hide the tops of the drystone walls we were obliged to renovate to stabilise the slope.

New Year, new project! The renovation of our Tipi lawn! ‘Lawn’ is very flattering for the surface we currently have. Our event tent can only fit on this very precise space - the rest of our eight acres is too narrow and spread across about a dozen terraces. The pitching area will be billiard table flat and not grassed. The rest will be a new lawn.

Thinking about making more of our roses, so I’ve listed what we already have to spark some ideas.... To make it on to my wish list the rose must be either scented or repeat flowering and work easily in the Mediterranean. After that, there is colour and shape to consider. So difficult..
