my garden

i've been around here for a while now and just realised that i've never shown you lot what my garden looks like, so here goes.

sorry for the odd shaped images, i've had to use a wide converter and stitch 2 photo's together, hence the funny looking wheelbarrow in the first image!!

 

And very nice it is too!! I like the arches very much indeed...what have you got growing up them Glen?

 

what a lovely garden glenw, just a nice size, what more do you need, love the pond and like pal the arches are lovely, well done

 

thanks you two! the arches have only been up a couple of years,(i've only had the garden 3 years),i'm hoping the climbers will make it almost like a tunnel during the summer months. I've got a couple of honeysuckle, 2 grapes,a wisteria,golden hops,kiwi,4 clematis and a jasmine working their way up them!

the path underneath splits the garden in two, on 1 side is my ornamental garden,i'm trying to keep the work load down on this side by planting only perrenials.I put the pond in last winter, the local wildlife has soon moved in!
The other side, i've built the 4 raised beds for veg and surrounded it with fruit. black,white,red currants,raspberries,blueberry,blackberry,loganberry,tayberry,rhubarb,gooseberry,jostaberry as well as the apples,pears and cherry trees. i've also got a dwarf patio peach tree and an espaliered nectarine tree!
the greenhouse is for toms and chilli's this year and next to that is my herb patch!

you will never believe this glenw all those climbers you have i,ve got them on my balcony doing great each year, when they all come back will take some pics, lucky you having a lovely garden its fab and i havnt got a wisteria one wouldnt grow on my balcony.

 

i look forward to seeing your photo's rosa, i love climbers,they always amaze me just how they manage to do what they do! my favourite,if i had to choose one, is the passionflower i've got climbing up a wire trellis on the wall. the way its tendrils curl so tightly round,pulling the plant ever higher is brilliant and then it flowers and amazes me again!

 

Had a few spare minutes this morning, so went out in the garden, snapping the things that i think looked good!

 

Looks lovely Glen!

Gonna try some climbers myself I think - eventually!

 

a few more...
