Lovely flowers Slacker, I used to have plenty of free growing garden flowers, sadly it's mostly lawns now with flowers in pots.

Mines a bit bare at the moment Slacker apart from the top left side where the rhodies are flowering and broom bushes just starting to bud, has to be easy  now my asthma and hay fever has seen to that!! Very therapeutic though is gardening (if you enjoy it - if not it's hard work!!)
More photo's from me later when I can find them!!  :)

@ Slacker - Sad to lose all that lovely colour isn't it, I had lots of herbs in the top end of my garden as well  :(

OC, your garden makes mine look a bit of a dump  ;)

Here's our greenhouse, if you can call it that LOL

@Fly. we used to have a greenhouse, do you grow tomatos in it? Gardens depend on how much time you can give them Fly --- and how much you enjoy gardening ;) We are practically retired and enjoy gardening - so maybe more time than you have  :)
@ Simon --- lovely garden - you do well to keep it looking so neat

Thank you.  I like being out there.  The front will be getting changed this year.  Soil is crap cos its a fairly new house so its all the fill that they levelled it with.

Back door step, yes Pete. I know the door could do with a lick of paint  ;)



Sweet peas in the sink. These are going up to the top of the garden later,
then will be growing little gem lettuces in there. Good crop last year, nice sunny corner.



Don't ask. Just Our_Lass and her usual smiley grin LOL
And the garden gnome that lives on the window sill  ::)

@ Fly ---  good to watch them grow then eat them isn't it, do you grow peppers as well? I have done in the past. Watch the Bizzie Lizzie's Fly they were diseased last year through the country, watch for white marks which look like powder on the leaves - destroy them and throw the soil away if that appears. I love them but had to disinfect all my tubs which had them in last year. :o

@ Simon, don't blame you Simon be a bit rough for getting good results although it looks good to me.
