An Algarve Garden - 2021

Wow @Victoria, I can see the work you’ve put in, a great transformation, hard work I know, but I bet your glad you done it now

 

Thank you Lem. I was 24 years younger when I started the project! Now I have time to sit back, relax and enjoy.

 

I will close off 2021 here ...

As October ended and November began we got our much needed rain which freshened things up.

Such a lot of wonderful blooms to end the year off @Victoria

 

The end of the year is always good here Michael ... now we will start to go into our Winter.

See you in the New Year and I wish you a peaceful and happy one. Vxx

 

You too @Victoria xx

 

So beautiful Vicky.....and colourful!!!

It may be lovely and mild here at the mo, but the gardens......well ours...is pretty dull and drab in Winter. So keep posting pics of your gorgeous garden please.

 

Thank you Upsy. Will do but we should, I say should be going into rain season.
