James's Veggie Patch

James wanted a veggie patch just like Pappou, so Pappou made him his own Veggie Patch, one made out of pine, with plenty of soil, dynamic lifter, compost and whatever else we could find.


We planted the veggies then waited for them to grow. We planted, tomatoes, dwarf beans, corn, lettuce, cucumbers, carrots and for the borders we alternated basil and marigold (companion planting).


I have also now added chillies and parsley to the veggie patch. Here are some images of what we have achieved.





Azaleas

I have many azaleas in my garden, at time of taking these images, the azaleas were in full bloom. I have many different varieties. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.







Spring 2007 - Back yard images

My backyard has lovely little dwarf fruit trees, and lovely pots full of colour. I have taken photos of my miniature peach and nectarine fruit trees. Enjoy the images. All these images were taken in September 2007.











Spring 2007 Garden photos

Long time between postings, lots has happened in my garden, but also in the family life, the main reason I have not posted for so long is because my husband has now lost both of his parents.

But back to my garden, here are some lovely photos of my front garden, taken in October 2007.
