Great Tree

I grew this tree from a foot long sapling, but it is on its way out for an exciting new project. It’s sad to cut it down as I look at it every day and improves the view out of the window.

The last leaves.

The tree in earlier glory.

Winter lettuce and rest of garden

More winter lettuce. It’s hard to grow with declining light levels, but we will see if we get a few leaves.

Cosmos white is great.

Kale should keep me going in Jan so long as slugs and snails don’t eat.

Courgette has been working hard all summer. Hasn’t stopped yet. Leeks in background have been great.

Chard’s beef up your salad. I eat Swiss Chard twice a day!

Yellow and purple flowers looking good.

Sedum looking good.

Broad beans make a salad. Last year the black aphids killed them off. This year I’m fighting back with hosepipe.

Lots of salad

I had first courgette of season

Kale struggling this year.

Garden very dry

Swiss Chard is a good easy veg.

These are some photos from the past few weeks. Growth has been quite rapid in the past week due to warm weather.

Veg are coming along well.

Some of these have been planted out

Nursery

Swiss Chard sown in Autumn has provided quite a few leaves since start of April.

Beds ready for veg. A very early courgette on left.

Some new apple cordons.

Horse manure!

Spring

I moved this tree from back garden to front. It had been in place for three years and seems to have survived a rather brutal move quite well.
