The gardeners come and go at will and more garden develops every few days.  The containers in the rockery are full of herbs and I have added a variety of ground covers to the soil among the rocks: "luna basket of gold," "blue rock seed," "New Zealand brass buttons," some creeping jenny, ice plant, and some sweet pennyroyal that brings forty-year-old memories of our farm in Virginia. Of course there are a couple of lavender plants just for me.  In the upper terrace we have planted three tomatoes under the front south window where the pyracantha was removed(do not worry, it is growing back apace).  Around the cherry tree to the east we've put a couple of mint plants.
