As summer rolls in..


My plants grew, along with my confidence.

Summer 08 My seond year in the world of gardening


The glasshouse summer 08. My second year of growing flowering plants. Prior to this I had never grown anything.

I want to be a gardener.



The two raised beds were built in Feb 07.

The glasshouse in the rear was built in the autumn of the previous year. 50% of the glasshouse is hidden behind the Star Magnolia.

The glasshouse contains pretty much everything I use for the raising of plants & vegetables. Electric heating,electric propagator,pots,seeds,etc

With a wooden contained raised bed,with two grapevines planted.
