Our garden

Bonsai, garden trees, houseplants and the odd volunteer seedling.

This is our little online catalogue of everything growing in our garden, made for friends and family. It's a work in progress, and there's always something new going in.

One bed down

The veg bed is finally a bed, with onions, shallots and garlic in it and bark on the path.

One bed down

The veg bed beside the raspberry frame is finally a bed. Dug over, raked level and measured out with an actual tape measure.

The autumn collection went straight in: onions, shallots and garlic, some of each, in rows. The rest is being kept for containers and the allotment, there being no second bed to put it in yet.

Everything has been watered in and netted, and the path has its bark. The other jostaberry has been planted out next to it, out of its pot at last.

A small section of the garden is coming together.
