In the garden - January 2014

Time to show you the garden and stuff, I haven't done that for a while. We were quite late getting things in but the veggie garden is just beginning to produce goodies. We're having a bit of a nightmare with our tomatoes again this year, we're going to have to find a new site for them next year, we've already pulled out two and another two are looking very sad. We did buy two new plants, pretty big ones, and I picked two toms off there yesterday! We only put them in last week! They were big plants though, I think we will need to go and get a few more or we won't get any fruit this year.

 I finally got some topiary box for the front door
 The lavender has taken, even surviving an attack of the goats!
It still needs small river stones
 Plums

  Eaten plums! Bloody possum, the trap needs to go out
 More lavender with stones

 Aggies on the drive

  6. Wow your garden is magnificent Sue. Your tomatoes looks okay to me. Mine have been cooked with the heat, so they are very sad looking at the moment...
