The front garden after complete renovation. Nearly finished!
I planted the dwarf cherry last autumn so I'm not expecting much of a crop this year.
The potato patch in the lottie. There is a path between two high leylandii hedges which has effectively funnelled last night's wind over the corner of my tatties...
...but the one in the compost bin seems to be doing well!
Some of the brassicas: romanesco in the foreground, the bottles are protecting leaf beet and there's a single fleece tent over my lonely broccoli plant, swede at the back netted against the thieving pigeons.
Enemy no.2 - rust on the broad bean leaves. It has spread from the garlic in the next row. That'll teach me!
Enemy no.3 - blackfly on the new broad bean shoots.
The onions would look a bit better if the moggies would stop rolling in the onion bed. They love it! The lettuces and parsnips at the back are doing very poorly.
Gorgeous - growing at the corner of the lottie.
Back garden - reusing polystyrene packaging as a planter for tomatoes, lettuces and marigolds. A bit battered by the recent rain.
The roses at the back of the house. I pruned them mercilessly last autumn and they're saying thanks now!
