Gardens, vegetable AND flower

[Buckykatt]

Hey @Zinzan and @Hedgehog post some pictures of your gardens. Here are some of mine, thefirst is where I'm at on June 5th at 9am, doing some weeding, and about to set up the drip system for watering. The two fiberglass tanks are what I catch rainwater in during the spring then use it to water during the summer with drippers.
Growing tomatoes, peppers, onions, and watermelons, and cucumbers. The asparagus is done for the year. The strawberries in the little patch are getting close. The sweetcorn will be ready late July.

Hey now that's just not nice - My garden is smaller than your veg patch.

Way to go - deflated feeling and jealousy acheivements awarded - You cruel person you!!!

(Really just jealous, remember having gardens like that once a lifetime ago )

Beautiful Ted, we can't seem to grow flowers like that. I imagine Stella tells you where to plant and you do it?
Is that blue barrel a rain barrel?

Nice gardens, everyone.

Re: size.... How does the saying go? In America 100 years is considered a long time, in Britain 100 miles is considered a long distance. Something like that anyway.

Nice quote MG - I heard this first from an American history buff I corresponded with in the 90's - he was summarising the difficulty taking about history in a country where most people thought 200 years was the entire span of world history worth talking about
