Around the garden

We had a very very mature grape vine in our last home. The new guys have removed the greenhouse, so I guess the vine went with it.

It's surprising sometimes what can be grown from seeds obtained from store produce. Our apple tree came from a pip my stepson planted when he was little and when I was into slightly hotter peppers I obtained all my birds eye chillis from shop bought. It's oftens pot luck as to what you actually end up getting though

My day-lilies are past the peak unfortunately. Bright spot, they'll be back next year!

My day lillies are past the peak and way over the furthest hill, as the SO is allergic, so we don't have them. She only has to smell them to iritate....

Might replace the dead azalea one last time this fall.. the others are still doing okay, and it's just the one this time so far instead of half that died lol it's like they can't handle the summers here when new because sometimes we get way too much rain and/or extreme heat, and they aren't having any of it.

Love these!

Karen, the wing beans can be used for salad too, no taste but nice texture.

Annie, I didn't know that. I will have to try it. Thank you.

they taste good too. You can make drink or dessert with them.

That's a popular one, Karen.

Our brambles have exploded into life, really prolific.

Brambles and prolific usually means problems Unless, of course, they are on waste ground

My Loganberries are like that. It does make things easier.

I usually end up with a few blood spots when I chop the brambles at the bottom of the garden, some even pricking through my gloves. My stepson used to amuse me, where we used to live. When he was little and still wearing nappies (diapers) but walking he used to go to the bottom of the garden and pick blackberries off the bush and eat them. I have difficulty without getting pricked at times so I was amazed that he never had any problems. Maybe it is the little hands geting past the thorns
