My Backyard

Hi all

Thought you would like to see some pictures of my yard:

My Yard

I'll add some more soon

 

Very nice aqua, everthing seems to be coming along well, you'll soon be eating that tomato. :D

 

I better be :D

Its all in a victorian backyard (bricked) which makes it fun :D

though I'm rapidly running out of space (its about 4x4m square

 

We all run out of space. .......Eventually

 

I was just wondering how the corn was doing in the window box? I think I might like to have a go at that.

 

The corn seems to be doing quite well and its loving the hot weather

whether we get any corn is a totally different issue though :D I'll let you know

 

Its VERY productive and if the sun is out tonight I'll take some more pictures (I'm so proud of it all )

The corn was a last minute idea and the seeds sown quite late, but its doing quite well better than I thought it would.

As its my very first time of growing things (and nearly everything was from seed) I'm hideously excited and now enquiring about getting an allotment :D

I wish I'd grown more flowers though, I only did the sunflowers and sweetpeas from seed and they give me so much pleasure its unreal

Thanks for all your kind comments

Hi Aqua

I am a newbie and have been looking through some posts and found yours. I love your yard. It's so productive! I'm hoping to the same with our back garden as we are renting this place so growing in pots are ideal.

I have the same kind of greenhouse you have and my plants get attacked by snails and slugs so I have been using 'Slug Stop' and I don't think it's working. How about you? All your plants seem so healthy? Do they get attacked by these slimy things at all?

Also, the corns look so small, are they edible.

I'm so sorry about all these questions but I admire what you did/doing with you brick yard so much.

One last quesrion though (hope you don't mind) what's happening to your yard this month as it's getting cold?

So sorry again for all these questions.
