EARLY SUMMER IN MY GARDEN. 2008

After a very busy Spring of preparing the garden for planting. I've now planted all my summer bedding plants again. Quite a large operation really, as it took the whole Three days of the Bank holiday weekend to do it all. But of course it will all be worth the hard work, when it is all in full bloom. The photos above show the shrubs and Climbers that are currently in flower at the end of May 2008. I've altered my garden slightly this spring, by removing a large Ceanothus (Californian Lilac) which had got too large and blocked part the view from the patio.

One of the photos above now shows what it looks like, from the patio to the centre of the garden.

The clematis climbers are just starting to come out now and everything is growing well.

This year i've also done a few Tomato plants in my Greenhouse , together with Peppers and an Aubergine plant. So we will see how they go on. There are Three types of Tomato variety in there. Outside i've done some Runner beans and Dwarf Beans as well, with also some new Blueberry bushes and Gooseberry bushes. These are next to the new Apple tree i planted, to replace the Californian Lilac shrub. I will show more of these in my next set of photos, as the garden develops during the Summer.
