My first garden. Coming to it a bit late at 67, but we have our first potatoes. There are a tomato and a couple of chillies showing and the runner beans have quite a few flowers. Sunflowers are different sizes.
That's amazing!! How hard has it been to do?
A lot of hard work!
We moved in at beginning of December and it was just an overgrown mess. It's basically plant things and see what grows best and where. Sunflowers OK in some places but not in others, brambles and bindweed sending up suckers everywhere. There was some overgrown bush things at bottom of garden - they had to come out for new fence/gate and I couldn't get all the roots out. So shoots from that keep appearing and when I dig them out, they've spouted from a piece of root less than a cm long!
We inherited a rhubarb plant that we've had two lots off of and it just keeps on going.
Have always been in army barracks or a flat, so when we got this bungalow it was a dream come true. Dad had green fingers and so do my two sisters, appears that I have as well.
The result is that I now have suntanned legs and spend a lot less time online :-)
That's great work! You've done rally well nice one
Thank you.
