Plus I bought 6 more fruit bushes/trees to be planted out this week

I'm also looking to get some currant bushes and raspberries but I need to build a cage for these so the birds don't get them!

So far only the rocket is ready to pick, but at least its something.

Autumn Colours and Garden Statues

It's been awhile since my last update, been busy with work and a training course with the fire brigade, so here are some photos of what we have been doing around the place

Firstly some Autumn colours from the front garden

 

 

The boys have been helping tidy up the front garden, some far I have taken out 15 roses over 30 still to go!

 

 

 

While tidying up we have been finding lots of garden statues, the boys have even set up a statue shop!

 



 

 

Around the back of the house the vegies are coming along nicely, sorry no upto date photos as my camera has broke! I did finally cut down the 2 trees by the back gate, this area will be another vegie bed and maybe some soft fruits if I get around to building a cage.

 

 

 

I've mulched a lot of the smaller branches, the big stuff will be used for the wood heater and the rest will be put on a bonfire.
