Unveiling the garden

Due to torrential rainpour and pure laziness last year, nothing was done to our garden last year. The only thing that grew was strawberries, which we already had the previous year and just came back. Bought a couple of lavender plants -but that was about it for the garden last year. This year, however, I intend to be back bigger than before….presenting the back yard 2008!

The strawberries are still there – we’re coming up to summer no.3!

Hanging baskets by the garage wall. Love em black cat hanger thing :) . We spent about £30 in sorting them all out..whoever says gardening is a cheap hobby?

The baby carrots grow at last!! Planted them in March but I guess it’s been too cold to sprout

Looks like rocket, but I don’t think it is. Yes, I am not sure what the heck I planted..

View from the top. Yes, I try very hard to develope a Yorkshire tan in my sunlounger, nearly freezing in the 15deg temperature. Note the ladder by the garage wall – bacon installed the bracket for the hanging basket way too high and I need to climb on the ladder to water it…:/

my house very dirty la..hahaha. I got cili padi plants too,but they are very slow to grow. Didn’t even take a picture of it, looks like a green bush.

My trick is to plant hardy plants..those that cannot die wan.heh.That way you wont be dissapointed.

I tell u what. In october u get joel to plant sunflowers ok. They are hardy plants and grow up to be very pretty too. He will enjoy watching it grow :) .

Those look like dandelion leaves to me! XD

Lovely strawberries, I’m getting super tempted now but I shouldn’t coz I already have too many plants!

Well, its definately not. Dandelions are way broader and longer, and not as many ‘branches’ from the leaves. Dandellions are WEED (I have shitloads in my grass), whilst these are sold in the supermarket as salads.

These totally resemble rocket,gonna taste it tomorrow and see if it tastes like rocket
