Our adventures in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus continue....

Today, Joan and I finished off some new borders in the garden, were Joan wants to plant out geraniums and petunias to give a splash of summer colour. Speaking of summer colour, if you do come over here to live and are a lover of roses, then you will be pleased to know that they grow very well and are never without blooms. In fact we have been reading recently, that in a Mediterranean garden you need to give them an enforced rest early in the year, by cutting them back to around 12 inches from the ground in January. Then because the weather is now so nice and warm we were able to eat outside, late afternoon, before I went off to watch Liverpool/ Middlesbrough with Michael. Its getting quite late in the season and Liverpool need to stay at least in the top four to get in to European competition next year
