After all the rain we've had - nay, suffered - this year, Spring has suddenly come upon us here in Ronda (Malaga) with a vengeance. I took a stroll around my garden this morning taking photos of trees, shrubs and bushes which are bursting forth with healthy blossom. There are also plants and vegetables which are thriving after all the rain. Unfortunately there are also weeds everywhere, which I'm gradually getting to grips with.
What follows is a picture diary of the photos I took at home and also of some seasonal flowers at my local, the newly opened Hotel Don Manuel, Fuente de La Higuera, Ronda.
Pear tree Unidentified bush "Bottle brush"
Elderflower Climbing rose Not sure
Almond tree Peach tree A yellow weed
"Unknown" Lethal cactus! Camelia
Broad beans Peas Red cabbage
Curly kale Green lettuce Lollo rosso Cauliflower
Three types of primula
Renovating Garden Furniture
The good Spring weather was also conducive to renovating some garden furniture and cannibalising some damaged wooden sunbeds and making a couple of coffee tables for the poolside terrace with the remaining good wood.
Lovers´seats almost done Two reclaimed coffee tables Another nearly ready
