Day 2 of Blog the garden

Today is day two, so here goes. Most of day has been taken up at work, oh well. The dogs and cat were pleased to see me when I got in and Racer and Jasper are either side of me on the sofa now.

Had a check of everything in the garden when I got in, everything still doing well. I'm currently growing lots of fruit and veg, we have
Apples
Blackberries (growing over back fence)
Brussels
Carrots
Chillies
Cauliflowers
Damsons (over back fence)
Elderflower/berries (over back fence)
Peppers
Potatoes
Raspberries
Rhubarb
Runner beans
Strawberries normal and climbing
Tomatoes

I think that's it. Hoping to add a cherry or pear tree next year. I really love walking though a garden and snaking as you go! Same on dog walks too.

The apple tree when we first got it, the garden has changed a lot. The Koi pond is now where the table is, and the pile of rocks has been split up. All the planters were loving made by my better half and worked out a lot more cost effective than buying pre made ones.

I do have non food plants in the garden and am pleased my roses are flowering for a second time this season, one is a red climber and the other is a strongly scented dark pink. I love roses, mainly the smell, and hope to add to these two later.
Anyway enough for now. Bye
