The Little Orchard and Greenhouse

Photos from around the garden with some Before and After Photos. The Little Orchard has really filled out this year but we haven't had much blossom, fingers crossed we get some fruit. Lee has been busy in the greenhouse growing Tomatoes, Strawberries, Peppers, Lettuce, Courgettes and Potatoes.

Chicken Coop went to a good home

Clearing the weeds

All clear and ready

The Greenhouse

Almost clean greenhouse

I spent the day with mum sorting out the greenhouse. Washed it down inside and out (except for the roof outside as we can't reach). There's about 4 broken panes so we might have to pinch some from the other greenhouse that is going to a new home, good job Eddy bought some replacement glass.

I bought some bulbs to put in the empty pots and have sown some hanging tomato seeds, sunflower seeds and seeds that I've collected (I have no idea what they are). I also planted up a hanging basket with 2 begonia bulbs and moved the money plant in there. I can't say that I'm a great fan of greenhouses but hopefully it will look nice and green. All I need to do now is water it, which reminds me I'm having a second attempt at some Morning Glory seeds too. Have no idea where my Mandrake seeds and Deadly Nightshade seeds are - probably in the lock-up in Birmingham. I'm looking forward to decorating the inside of the greenhouse with some of my ornaments (think my witches will have to go in here).

Hope these snails crawl away

My Hanging Basket Attempt

Saving plants again, this time geraniums. Hopefully these will fill out and keep the weeds down.

Geraniums planted in Front

Caravan

Two of these large tubs were in the garden and the other two were on the grass verge by the road. They didn't really look very nice where they were so I planted them up with some of the climbing roses that were in the garden, bought some cheap obelisks and put them by the caravan as a privacy screen. I just need to paint the planters black but this looks a lot better. Lee painted the bottom of the caravan black - so much nicer.

Planters looking a bit rough

Nice and Tidy

Need to paint those tubs!

Big Messy Corner

The photos below are different views around the caravan. We've certainly got our work cut out over the Summer. Haven't worked out why we have so many road cones yet.

Greenhouse will have a new home
