Garden update

It’s been a while since my last post. I don’t post anything from home. I do it from elsewhere and just haven’t got around to taking any photos to show. Anyway, I finally have some more.
A couple of weeks ago we pulled out the scrappy garden bed from the front of the house. The lavender was lovely for a while, then became leggy and unattractive. The whole area was replaced with roses. You can see our first flower above. Gorgeous.

I’m in the back yard. Behind me you can see a nice cabbage in a square pot. It’s thriving well, but has been attacked by snails/slugs lately. The good thing about the pot is that I can pick it up and move it away from the snails. Jasmine grows on the fence. Hopefully it fills up the entire boundary. Is that a new tree to my right? No, it’s my patch of broad beans! Around 7 feet high and cropping heavily. I really don’t know why this year’s crop is a foot taller than last year’s crop, but I’ve had to tie them securely against this month’s strong winds.

Remember to click each pic for an enlargement. Hope you like these photographs. I will post some more soon. Cheers.
