    Thanks for the comments. I seem to have been lucky with the veg as I think I have inherited good soil that has mixed well with the compost and chicken manure. To think last year my dad kept coming round to cut the grass cos I didn't have a lawn mower and I had no interest, other than some toms that my mum brought round.
    GarnetLady your greenhouse looks so lush. Heynonnynonny I'm very jealous of your pond. Although the landlord doesn't really care about what I do in the garden, I don't think he'd appreciated a huge hole being dug. Emptypockets my pic 022 (next to last is the tralis I (well OH) made by copying yours. The willow was added when mum found it on the railway.

    Heynonnynonny is the pink flower on the bbq a dianthus. The flowers look dif but the foilage looks like one. If it is one it is doing so much better than mine. I have a dianthus mystic star but it hasn't really got going yet, just a couple of flowers.

    Our garden is small but looking very pretty at the moment, I can't take any credit for it though, my DH does it all. I'm missing the Tarragon this year, he doesn't tend to have a lot of success with it. Pic 3 Thyme, chives,parsley,marjoram. Pic2 Mint, rosemary, basil.

    It looks like your DH has put a lot of work into to it. Your garden is looking lovely, nice and colourful.

    Westcountrymaid,I love your blue pig he would go well with my pots where did you get him?
    And forgot to say, lovely garden.
  • Beautiful garden, lots going on and very inspirational! Busrting with colour.

    Ausmummy yes that sounds familiar, I bought it in a multipack of alpines and all have done very well. I love them, would love dedicate a section of garden to them. On the hunt for a trough or old sink to do some in next.
    Ahhhh.... lemony fresh victory is mineee!!!

    I'll do some pics tomorrow. Been concentrating on the new allotment and the home gardens have gotten a bit messy lol. A lot of stuff is only just peeking thru on the allotment so pics of that are distinctly unrewarding he he!
