Gardening 2014

My MIL was saying the same about her seeds this year Debih, she planted some in a little wooden wheelbarrow but they've made a very poor show By contrast all of the plants that went in as seedlings have been fine Must be the weather - mine all went in as small plants so mine are all lovely......

Hope you can shift the pesky beetles!!!!

Don' grow any vegetables as we only have a small garden.

Have some perennailk plants, one rose, two fuschia which are from a cutting my other gave me. an evening primrose. The seeds drop off and new plants seem to grow in several places. I only save three.

Buy bedding plants from a local nursery.

I was looking at my very green vege garden today thinking, I really must weed that and plant something for winter. bug I may have left it too late.

My pots are really gorgeous colours now - of course the torrential rain helps a bit!

Thanks to the wet, mild winter, we've had a bumper crop of tayberries this year - at least 70-80 fruits off the bush now, I reckon. The other day, I saw a squirrel hanging off the trellis, helping himself to some ..... I opened the bedroom window, clapped my hands, the squirrel took off over the trellis - and the bottom of the bush exploded as a whole family of panicking mistle thrushes came screaming out from underneath it!!

Not many butterflies yet - but we have sighted a Comma, which although not exactly rare, does seems to be unusual around us!

Oh lovely!!!

My pots have really spread out since my last photo, they are really something this year

On the produce side, we have had cukes and lovely tomatoes so far, oh and one ginormous aubergine The chillis and peppers are coming on, but not ready yet
