    I remember when you started tackling the excavation of your gardens. The transformation is absolutely amazing! What a wonderland you have created.

    Maybe use one of the sunny balconies for the lettuce and chilli planters surely the slugs won’t get up that high!

    I was thinking the same thing! Take the lettuce where the slugs cannot grow!

    Put crushed eggshells around the lettuce and other tender plants. Slugs do not like to cross the sharp edges on the eggshells. Works in my garden. Also use some diatemaceous (sp?) earth.

    Try planting lettuce and spinach in hanging pots. It's harder for the slugs to get at the plants.

    Duckies are cuter than slugs - but they are not generally kind to a garden or a gardener.

    Someone suggested ducks around your garden. No ducks they belong on a big property with their own pond far far away from your house because ducks really make the area smell bad. Their poop does not break down. I’d say your garden is almost full and glorious. Love the Prosecco corner, you’re a bit of an expert of Paella yum! 😋

    If you don’t want the slugs to eat your lettuces just put some gravel around them.

    Have you considered having a couple of larfe planters by the summer kitchen planted with herbs and salad leaves to hand for cooking. Put a copper band around the bottom of the pots which will deter the slugs from climbing the pots.

    I don't think there is enough space for a fountain Alla. It would be very tight. Shouldn't you leave enough room for a large table for when you have large gatherings?

    Your garden is so beautiful. I appreciate your love of nature. Where I live there is a lady who has a dog like Cheri ( King Charles Cavalier) she walks with her over the bridge by the harbor and when ever I see them I smile and say hi Cheri! ( quietly of course) one day I will find out the real name. Cheri is very helpful in the garden.

    The cypress tree is glorious. It gives a grand perspective to your garden & will be magnificent once it grows. I had favourite huge one @ my grandparents place in New Zealand when I was a child.

    For slugs and snails I use Diatomaceous Earth. A white powder that is organic and melts the slugs, etc. Will not harm animals or humans. Here in France I grow my lettuces in a tall box with legs covered. Works well.

    If those roses on the terrace are climbing roses then the upright branches should be pulled down into a horizontal position which produces many more roses for you so good idea to put wires along the wall and pin the branches to the horizontal wires you will be amazed how many more roses you get .

    You should try some beer in a small container, the container dropped into a depression in the ground. The slugs and snails are drawn to the smell, they fall in and can't get back out.

    I would of put the Cyprus tree more in the middle of the garden so you can look at it from the top two terraces, it would look more majestic against the background of the lake, up at the top it will just blend in with the wall ❤
