Candidimage Photography: A Walk around my garden

This post is for my Uncle James in England, we talk often and when we do we always end up talking about our gardens. So I"ll post some photos and try and give you some idea what our garden looks like.

First there is the back yard or for the most part the vegetable garden, much time has been spent in the vegetable garden over past weeks. We have had a lot of rain and the plants have been growing so quickly that many need to be tired up so they don't get damaged on the windy days..
The Vegetable Patch

Now there is also the fernery, this is my favorite part of the garden, I spend many hours here. My little miss Milly also loves this part of the garden as she has her fairy garden here, I will include photos of her fairy garden taken at night with the lights on. One year for Christmas Doug made me a garden feature for this part of the garden. Doug did a wonderful job on this feature and it looks great in the garden covered in some of my potted plants and nick knacks.

In the photo above you can see that the tomato plants are as tall as the side fence which 2.1 metres high. We are growing them inside wire tomato cages to help give them support but Doug still needed to stake and tie them as well because of there size.

The Fernery

The Fairy Garden

The fairy garden was made in the fernery so that the delicate plants in it don't get burnt by our hot summer sun.

The Garden Feature

Doug made the garden feature for me as a Christmas present as you can tell from the photo it is very well used. This feature give the fernery a little added character.

We also have fruit in the back garden, berries and this year with the rain we are going to have lots of them to pick..

Yes even with the vegetable garden there is room for some flowers in the back garden as well, some like my Cala Lily and other bulbs I grow in pots. My herbs I grow in pots as well so that I can prevent them from getting out of hand and taking over and I can also move them depending on our weather conditions.
