My first flowering Clematis in April 09

FIGS

My second fig tree planted two years ago growing horizontally along the fence. This year's fruit looks more healthy may be all this rain we have had. The whole tree is laden with fruit.

I have never grown Figs before so this is all new to me.

Going BANANAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Musa Basjoo has now reached the dizzy heights of 7 foot and 9foot tall. The little one you see is approx. 3 foot tall and fast catching up. I also have others dotted around the garden.
I know it will take a long time to fruit but for me it is just fun growing them, reminds me of home in the tropics.

RAISEDBEDS--Carrots

Carrot seeds 'Autum king' were planted during the first week in July when the Moon was waning. Weeks later we are enjoying our first carrots.
This is the first attempt at planting by the Moon. They look pretty robust.

I have also had success with beetroot planted about the same time as the carrots.

Cherries(STELLA) in the garden 2008 July

Planted Cherry tree in April this year not expecting to get any fruit at all. We are very pleased with the tree we bought from the garden center.

Runnerbeans in July

After a late start planting runnerbeans we are harvesting our first lot of beans.
