    I was amazed at how many fantastic plants you had before in your balcony, and admired what you had achieved in a small space.

    Will look forward to seeing what you do in this bigger plot! Good luck

    Hello Rosa, I didn't know you had moved.
    I hope you will be very happy in your new home and new life.
    I can't wait to see what you do with your yard. If it's anything like the balcony it will be just super.

    Could you do something with the brick walls a "little" like this?

    I don't mean, go mad, and cover inch of space with them but a few would liven up your yard.

    Could you get some lattice panels to make it a little more private for you?
