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.

June ~ Fruits growing

Nectarine Fruits


These fruits are just about the size of a large pea
Sadly we must protect them as once again as with the Filbert Nuts we find the squirrel prefers them under-ripe rather than not at all!
We get peach leaf curl on this tree but this year I have sprayed and it is less of a problem.
Next year I will spray earlier and get the ladder out to reach the tops of the branches.
I think maybe as it gets stronger it might be less susceptible.


You can already see the peachy/nectariney shape to this one.
