A New Garden of Eden

We have unfortunately lost our pomegranate tree either under the rubble or as a result of the earth moving. In addition we have lost a plum tree, one fig and an olive tree. Once the building work is complete we will be planting two (new) old olive tree as focal points in the garden area near the house as well as planting lots of herbs and plants which are happy growing in rocky areas with little attention and water.  I aslo hope o replant espalier fruit trees which will grow against the walls of the terraces. We have a fair number of olive trees but none with nice old trunks. We had to give them all a hard pruning last year as they had had nothing done for a few years so few or no olives this year. When I am there full time it will be a pleasure to do it myself.
