Garden "B's"

Beans--Pots of runner beans waiting to go in the veg garden. Gorgeous when they are young and tender, served with minted new potatoes and gammon steak.... mmm yummy!!

Bluebells, so pretty, shame they don't last long.

Birds-- The feeders on the side of the garage are in constant use at the moment, these are tiny Goldfinches, they absoloutely love sunflower hearts. I can fill this end feeder up nearly every day. The most Goldfinches I have counted at one time is 15, they are so pretty especially when the sun is shining on them. We are very lucky at the amount of different birds we get in the garden to say we are only yards away from the Airport runway.

Blossom- We are hoping for another bumper crop of apples this year, the tree even though it is small is covered in gorgeous blossom.

Thankyou for looking xx

Greenhouse gardening

After what seemed like a really lonnnggg winter, finally things are starting to grow and the greenhouse is producing lots of lovely veg plants as well as tomatoes and flowers.

This year we are growing the same as last year when we had bumper crops of everything. We have Green and Red lettuce, cucumbers, peppers, chillies, leeks and courgettes.

Sunflowers, Delphiniums, Foxgloves,, ornamental poppies, Aqualiegia, nastertions and bedding plants

Wallflowers for flowering next year. Mint ready for the new potatoes....yum!!

And of course tomatoes Plum, Beefsteak, Cherry and normal salad ones, only half the plants this year.
In the garden we already have potatoes, peas, carrots, spring onions raddish and strawberries. We will never be self sufficient but its great fun!!
