In my garden

Just popped outside and took a few photos at the back of the house.

The oldest Lime tree has lots of Limes at the present time.

How lovely to have fresh limes Loretta the shrubs are gorgeous I wish I could smell them .

Re: In my garden

If you can't grow flowers and plants in Spain then you aren't really trying.
BTW I have a lemon tree in my conservatory and we have fresh lemons on it each year....this year there are 13 of the little blighters on it

Re: In my garden

Not quite true Malcolm. Most flowers and plants need a lot of water, something that is in very short supply around here. You could count the number of raindrops we´ve had so far this year. I always find it strange that although virtually everyone has Lemon trees, Lime trees are rarely seen. Most of the Limes we see in the supermarkets are imported and they are, in my opinion, expensive, 3.75 to 5 euros a kilo. I don´t think Limes are grown commercially in Spain, I could be wrong, but I don´t think so.

Lovely Garden

Re: In my garden

Thank you Mags. I have 2 Lime trees, but one got transplanted and is just beginning to make a recovery. We don´t expect any Lemons this year, the tree got a severe pruning, it was getting somewhat big, but it´s coming along nicely and maybe around Christmas time it will begin fruiting again.

Thank you. It keeps Mr Clumsy busy and out of mischief

Re: In my garden

Lovely photos ... I bet the Jasmine smells heavenly. Wish I could sniff it.

Re: In my garden

My very good friend lives near to Barcelona and he has the most magnificent gardens, with every plant you could imagine.
I do realise that water is not as plentiful there as it is here, but no winter frost and plenty of sunshine makes growing plants easy.
