In My Garden

Went out this morning and took some pics of things flowering in the garden at the moment. Occurred to me that uploading the pictures and blogging about it occasionally would be a good way to record what happens in the garden as the seasons pass. As we're planning some serious work on re-designing the garden next year, this is probably a good idea.

One of the best things about moving into this house last autumn has been watching the garden to see what grows. There are some very pretty flowers and shrubs - so a great foundation from which to start. This year, we're mostly taking stock of what we already have, though we did fill up a bunch of pots and planters with annuals, and have a small kitchen garden going, in containers (herbs, salad leaves, strawberries, and tomatoes). We're coddling a few rather sickly raspberry and currant bushes, and Andrew planted a few pumpkin and watermelon seeds, just for a lark.
