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.

Olive Tree


Small Olive Tree
July 1st 2010


This is the best show of flowers we have had on our little tree
Considering it was under 6" of snow on the patio in January it's quite amazing


Olive Blossom on our little tree


Previously when we've had buds they've just dropped off
I don't remember seeing flowers actually open before
I wonder if we will get any olives....

    You're on; we'll have to learn how to make them edible if we actually do get some.
