A sunny evening in the Garden

Sometimes it's good to sit and look at the garden as a whole. That way we can see things we hadn't noticed while we were busy doing the obvious jobs.

Taking it easy before work starts

                                                                 

From our seat, this flower bed makes an attractive picture.

  

 One of our apple trees has been leaning over badly. It needs re-staking and so it can be pulled upright.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

Hammering in the stake.

 

 

Job done.

September already

Our last two Monday session were rained off, but eventually we managed to find a dry(ish) evening later in the week when we could catch up in the garden. The main job was cutting the grass edges and then general tidying.

The rain has encouraged our annual rocket seeds to germinate - in abundance!

Rocket seeds germinate quickly in the right conditions.

We also have some wild rocket in the garden. It is a perennial which we don't remember planting, but it is a tasty addition to salads, and very hardy.

The Broad Ripple Yellow Currant tomatoes, which come up every year with no help at all from us, are ripening now. Tiny, but very tasty.

These plants will go on producing little tomatoes until the frost comes.
