I'm just preparing the soil for a similar garden here in Melbourne Australia. My soil is more clay than the typical Mediterranean garden, but this area is very dry thanks to a fence and nearby gum tree so I think it will work.



I'm planning on loosley espaliering a row of olives against the fence, and underplanting with rosemary, thyme, sage, oregano and lavender. There are already a few artichokes in the bed, and I have potted fig and bay that I may move into this area. I won't plant out the fig - I find their roots difficult to manage once they get going.



Sadly Citrus don't grow well in my mountain valley area as we get severe frosts.


I would love to see photos of your garden when it is planted!
