How does your garden grow?......

Mine is positively blooming - in pots anyway!

The cougettes are sprouting two - yes two - actual, real, tangible courgettes!! The other plant is flowering but so far seems to have only female flowers, so no actual fruits yet. I am indeed, an expert, don't you know - ahem!

The tomatoes are gathered daily and are waiting to be turned into something scrummy, a salad, a garlicky rich pasta sauce, who knows yet?

Then there are the butternut squash plants. Getting bigger by the day and no sign of anything much happening.

We shall just have to wait and see. Can you spy my poor basil being taking over??

Our little garden

I'm ashamed and a little embarassed to say that I am always envious of all the wonderful gardens I visit on my trips to people's blogs. I don't have green fingers at all, not in the slightest. Despite that I was out in the garden this weekend planting my flowers trying to brighten things up.

This is one of the lovely geraniums we bought, such a vibrant and vivid red against the blue of the brickwork.


This is my favourite flower in our garden, a bed of beautiful orange lillies that come back to life for a few short weeks each year.

I have, against all odds, managed to grow some veggies too, even if some were inherited from my Dad's greenhouse!

This wonderful green lettuce is almost ready for picking,

and the tomatoes are well on the way.

I can't wait for these little fellas to get big and juicy. They have some way to go yet....

These peas I can say were proudly grown by my own fair hands from seed, although I must say that this one plant in particular looks like it belongs in 'Day of the Triffids'!

I just love fresh peas - I really can't see many of these making it to the table!
