.... and to see this huge part of your country you own ... goodness sakes. My is a vertible "city garden roof" size in comparison! No, city garden roofs are probably bigger.

I agree with moosey and dixie and have my magnifying glass out (besides having my glasses on!) searching for these weeds! You should be here where we have a problem of the Oxalis (Bermuda Buttercup, ha, ha) invading the Algarve so that you think the country is green with grass and it's this weed that takes over every crack and crevice imaginable! Shocked

Love the photos and look forward to seeing more.

Dear Anna! I really loved your work in your garden, and I was especially touched by your daughter's lovely garden! Great gardeners start like this! Just go on, with inspiration and energy non-stop!

Hmm, think I might need to start a new post all about weedy patches to show off the nightmare that exists in the corner behind my garage - then you'll wonder what you were worrying about!! Laughing

I, too, have my glasses on and am about 2 inches from the screen, but even your so-called "weedy" picture looks great to me!! Very Happy

I may be a bit slow, but what are those cute little pinky/white flowers?

That's just a close up of 'The Fairy' rose. She starts off an intense pink. Quite 'in your face'! Then she fades to more graceful colours. Smile

Those 'weeds' btw, are nothing compared to what's growing around most of our section.
If you look in the first piccie of my daughter's garden you'll see some very long grass going to seed. That's a truer indication of what's what here. Very Happy

Liza, I'm hoping to encourage the 'next generation'. I think my daughter may be the only one of my 3 children to be an enthusiast, although my eldest boy does love mowing lawns, so that has to be good, doesn't it? Laughing

A work in progress...

Lovely to meet you, Anna ...
