Henry's Garden Tour



Come on a tour of our garden


Off we go


There are lots of trees in our garden for me to climb and sit in.  This one is a Mulberry Tree.


It has tiny fruit starting to form on it.


We have four raised vegetable beds.  This one has a lot of salad leaves in it, as well as chard, peas and tomatoes.  We have salad every day for lunch and chard and spinach for dinner.


This bed has our beans growing in it.


They are starting to flower which is exciting.


It also has some Kale and Onions.



Over here we have a courgette plant flowering and several little courgettes growing.





Oh dear what has happened here?


Something, as yet unidentified has been eating our other Kale and Brassica plants.  Grrr..


Yummy raspberries.  We have been picking a few of these each day.


Gooseberries.  Mum has already made two batches of jam with these, looks like we need to pick some more!



Into the orchard, we have a lot of apple and other fruit trees.


All great for climbing as well!



A pear tree.


This side we have potatoes, peas and onions.


The peas are growing nicely.


We have a little vineyard...trouble is they are wine grapes and Mum doesn't drink wine and we are not really sure what we should be doing with them, so they are currently growing wild!


A lovely big fig tree.


Down the steps...


We discovered these and uncovered them a month or so after moving in.


A plum tree


Looking forward to these.


Strawberries - that need a better cover over them as they keep getting eaten by critters.  It is a constant battle here against badgers and other wildlife.


Our lovely pond, so peaceful and relaxing.


With its beautiful water lilies.


Although the fish seem to have also gone missing - we have seen a heron around here, so we may need to cover it eventually if we have to get more fish.


Of course there is the sea view which is a delight.  We can also 'spot ships' that sail past daily.


I hope you enjoyed my little tour.

We are thinking of re-instating our original Sasha/Gregor blog, with perhaps a name change to reflect we now live on an Island and also to give Mum some focus!  Ha ha, hopefully you might get to see more of us Gregor and Sasha friends that way.

    1. Lovely to have fresh food, knowing you have planted it from seed and seeing it grow. Not so lovely to see it decimated by known and unknown critters though!

  5. Your garden is so lovely and so well taken care of! The pictures are beautiful but the gooseberries on the bush are the best. Henry is such a lucky boy! Does he help with the gardening?
