Well at last we have had some proper frosts down here.  I have been trialing different areas of the garden trying to find a warm spot. Well I've found a place at last with its own micro-climate, the nasturtiums are still flowering and a few more delicates are still standing.

  Now I am going to create a real mediteranian  garden with a big olive tree and bougainvillea, the canna and mirabilis should survive being left in the ground. but I think I will leave the cacti in pots.

   The  south/west facing area has three white painted walls and I think if I spread gravel over the ground the heat should build up a treat in the summer. An hopefully get some rarer plants to flower.

Photos will be posted when the garden is up and running.
