My Garden

Welcome to my garden blog; we have lived in this house for 32 years and the garden was virtually bare when we moved in. I think we had 2 Queen Elizabeth roses and some Rhubarb!
The small front garden however had 9 huge clumps of orange Mombresia around the lawn's edge.
We garden on heavy clay which is challenging but over the years we've worked out what works and what doesn't.
The garden has been a playground for our three children over the years and we are not precious about it but we do know what we like.
I hope you enjoy following it through the year.

Medlar Tree ~ 1

Medlar Tree
Suddenly today the flower buds had emerged
This is a tree I bought for my husband for Christmas 4 or 5 years ago and it fruits well.
We make Medlar Jelly each year then using the pulp and apples we make a really spicy chutney.
