Around The Garden In June

Lucas had a haircut he looks like a puppy again.

Summer squash.

Propagating my strawberries.

Growing the squash up wigwams this year so It uses the space better. I saw this done in Portugal.

I lost some garlic so I have put some weed contral fabric down.

Poppy I grew from seeds I bought form Sarah Ravens site

My flower bed in my veg patch is working well to bring in bees and good bugs.

I have been collecting buckets to put bee loving plants in, i think it looks quite good.

My amazing fence I am really proud of it. I made it with hazel sticks I have been collecting I have only finished one half of it I have to wait till I collect enough sticks.

I have made a mini fence here to keep lucas trampling on my plants but I am unsure of it.

My rhubarb I have found looking good.

They are in flower!! Finally after 3 years.

Bargains Everywhere!

First bargain was the replacing of my broad beans that the pigeons ate. I got 5 well established healthy plants for £1.
Next bargain were these rhubarb which I got for free because I found them in a pile of garden chopping's near a wood close to where I live so one of my neighbours must of chucked it out..It also solved the problem of this unused space I had because I originally had peonies there but Lucas decided to dig them up, he was trying to get rats.

I shaped this boarder again and have filled it with bulbs I found at pound stretcher. 12 irises for £1. And Lupins and Delphiniums £1 a plant.

And lastly at Home base I got these gooseberry bushes 2 for £5 so I now have two of the green variety of gooseberry and one red and I got a Logan berry because I have never tried one before. So all in all it was a very successful weekend.
