Our garden this week

 

This mornings pea harvest ! Picked and frozen in 10 minutes, sweet and simply delicous



The dahlias have just started to flower again


Peas, absolutely laden. Will need to pick daily to get them just right. Our beans are behind them and we have just got flowers


Lots of grapes on the grapevine this year


Bucket gardening at its very best. Lots of flowers, beetroot, radishes and carrots in with a couple of bucketfuls of spuds



All the planters are looking fantastic and all just starting to flower. Simon made all the planters from pallets. With a lick of fence paint they look a million dollars !


A bed full of tomatoes, all pruned and staked up ready. There are flowers on them all


One of the roses that Tom buys me for Mothers Day. I always get an indoor planter with usually 4 plants in. The ferns over the years are well established house plants now and the roses are all planted out, just starting to flower and looking good



The planters and trough at the front of the house look fantastic and we are the envy of the neighborhood!  Simon made the planters and they had to be large and heavy to stop them getting stolen. They are now absolutely rammed with plants that are just starting to flower and they look stunning !
