Before (18th june)



and 1 week later

I don't have a garden but i've started doing bits and pieces with our east facing balcony:

A little rockery i made in a bucket thing from ikea:

Peas - this was taken a couple of weeks ago and now i have pods on them
A little acer I bought, hopefully will survive on the 6th floor...
A clematis, too late for flowers this year but it's stretching its way along the railing nicely. I'm not sure if the roots are in enough shade so i might put something up to keep the sun off.

I also got a lovely grapevine at the bloom festival that seems to be doing well in a nice tall pot. Must take some pics.

Lovely, well done!

We've been harvesting onions and garlic. I'm really pleased because the garlic was just a head I'd bought in the supermarket.
I still have carrots, parsnips, beetroot, celery, lettuce, courgettes, brussels sprouts and herbs in the bed. The tomatoes are in pots and starting to ripen, and we've had tons of peas too.

casey junior

Could we please have more pics of things pleasant on the eye and not just the stomach?

I've only really gotten into gardening in the last year or so, so I am still v.much learning but I'm enjoying it so much. My garden is still a work in progress and by no means stacks up to some of the gardens here but as a complete novice I am proud of what I have achieved this year

Fair play to anybody who has posted pics here, of anything that they have grown, edible or not.

As for the pics you have posted...........sorry, I can't find them. Must be because you haven't posted any !!

To quote an appropriate proverb

Indeed I haven't as I don't know how, but when I do, I will.
In the meanwhile, can we have some pics like your man's Black Bamboo,beautiful.

flutered

Well done Flutered, your garden looks really nice. The Roses are beautiful, why do Gardeners not grow more roses? Shame really.

Keep up the good work!

I agree, I have a red rose (don't know exact names) similiar to Flutered, a peach miniture rose, a climbing white rose I'm training around my fence and a lovely pink rose (the ones with the long stem and their foilage and flowers in a ball shape at the top, wish I knew names). They are so pretty and more or less fool proof, I love them!!

casey junior

Dear Flutered,

I am forever in your debt, can I come and share your idyll with you and forget all about the farmers?
Alliums, not Onions.
Roses, not Radishes.
Petunias, not Peas.

I believe the red rose to be the Princes Trust, which I have on my pergola under Mme Alfred Carriere and beside Zepherine Drouhin, incroyable!

Someday I hope to be able to show them here when I get time off from deadheading to learn how to.

I enjoy looking at all the pic's and fair play to everyone who put theirs up.

There are some gorgeous gardens here - flutered love that wild kind of look you have going on - I must put some pics up of mine, although its nothing like some posted here.

There are some parts of my garden that haven't even been dug over - and lots of concrete walls waiting to be covered with climbers. I just don't put up photos of those parts

as people seem to like my rustic place here are a few more, the one thing that disappoints me is all my nice stuff was lost over the winter, ah well thats gardening for you.

Love all the colour, wish I had as much space to work with!!!

HardyEustace

This is my progress so far. I feel it look far more dramatic and beautiful already given all the sweat, toil and tears it's taken!

Also a nice opportunity to say a big thank you to everyone on this forum for their help and advice on various questions I've asked.

wreckless

attached photos vs. linked images

just wondering if all the people posting here know of flikr, photobucket and picasso etc. upload all your photos there and then simply copy the image url ( image location, click the wee button where it say insert image and paste in your image address/url. hey presto, your image will appear on this thread in full colour to be seen immediately instead of as an attachment.

just a wee suggestion. its is pics thread and none on most pages persay..

hello932

wreckless in that last photo what are those big plants x 3 i see..are those kiwi vines?

Wreckless

How are you supporting your toms?

Can you post some close ups pics.

I'm very jealous

wreckless

thanks lads

the 3 big plants are sunflowers, one is well over 8ft at the mo.

the toms i have supported by garden wire, green plastic coated wire, soft enough to bend with the fingers, I use a stronger wire peg at the base of the tom and trail the wire to a wire over head, the tom grows up the wire pretty much. ill put up some images when i get them
