Show us your gardens!

Summer is almost upon us, and the outbreak of warm weather might be encoyuraging you to get out into the garden!

So what are you growing, what [plans do you have? Or maybe you habve qa well established garden, so post some photos!

To start this off, a couple of my garden. I moved house earlier this year, from a largish garden to one a little smaller - which the agent described as "a blank canvas"

This is what it looked like just after I moved in



IO've got some flowers in pots, but they are a bit messy at the moment!

So after six months, I have dug out the first bit of a vegetable patch, where I will be planting some runner beans. This is a work -in-progress, so I'll post some more as the mood takes me!

Oooh. I was playing with the new camera yesterday trying to capture that misty evening light. I'll post one up.

[Phage]

Here we go. Did I mention my wife is a plantswoman ?

[Terbinator]

Very nice garden there Phage.

[Phage]

Thanks but the other half should take the credit. I just do the heavy lifting, mowing and stuff.

...and the most important bit of the garden, the bbq:

[Phage]

[dave87]

I'll try and post photos later. The grass really needs cut, so it looks a bit like a field at the moment, but then before and after shots might be good.

Here we go



First time I've actually done anything with photos from my One X, it's odd having them in widescreen format, the field of view is different to what I would expect.

Doesn't mean that your garden isn't worth showing though!

And the work-in-progress.. progresses.

I got my bucket and spade out at the weekend...

The framework for some runner beans



Some herbs in raised beds



A bit of colour (when they all flower)



I cheated and bought the chives, sage and thyme at the front. The ones at the back (basil, chilli and sweet peppers) I grew from seed.



And the beans (grown from seed) in place.
