Your terraced garden is always so lovely! Do you have little paths between the terraces and plantings from which to work?

flowerweaver: unfortunately no! I had put in stepping stones, which are now overgrown, but have a sort of path I can take weaving around the plants. I dont do too much maintenance, they are all tough drought tolerant plants (or else they have died). About every two weeks in spring and summer I wander in to do weeding, and clipping. Once in a while I move a plant.
