It all looks very healthy, the plot looks absolutely huge.
ReplyDeleteIt is a big plot, Jo
DeleteEverything looks so wonderful and healthy. Oh and the buddleias..so pretty...I want them...I'm sooo getting them for my garden...and beautiful courgettes.
ReplyDeleteI can't help it but to notice how your pears are still on the tree. Here pear harvest is in early June. Are that late pears or is it so big weather difference between our countries that here everything comes and dies much earlier?
We tend to pick ours around September which is normal for our country.
DeleteThose buddleias are on the plot as I took lots of cuttings that all grew!
Wow September?? We don't have anything in the garden in September...except snow maybe :D
DeleteFor what we were harvesting last September see

Thanks for the photo tour! I always enjoy them. Your gardens look very happy and healthy. Boy, what a lot of work! I always forget how big your plot is. Keep up the good work and enjoy the fruits of your labor!
ReplyDeleteIt makes it all worthwhile doesn't it Robin?
DeleteOh WOW! I'm so impressed with your plot. What a fantastic harvest you shall have! I can only imagine the hard work that has gone into producing that little lot!
ReplyDeleteI love the purple pears!xxxx
Just hope the purple pears hang on and mature so we can taste them, Snowbird
Deletemany thanks Sue for sharing awesome and wonderful
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure, Linda
DeleteGreat tour, Sue! Thanks for sharing your bounty.
ReplyDeleteBoy you spoil your leeks. I'll admit I still don't yet know what a jostaberry is. Unlike yours, our courgettes have gone on strike because of the weather and because I didn't pamper them. (OK, I squeezed too many into the space because I didn't have the heart to discard any). I was delighted with our sweetcorn but now it is looking very washed out. Your's looks the picture of health. If this was wartime you would get a medal for all you have achieved! Thank goodness it's not, but you deserve the credit all the same.
It's trying to spoil us rather than the leeks, Mal. I'm glad we're not at war too except maybe with the bugs and slugs.
DeleteYour garden is a real credit to you - and so it should be you put so much effort into it.
ReplyDeleteThank you Elaine
DeleteIn a word, Magnificent.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rooko
DeleteLooks fantastic, and seeing the long shots of the beds shows just how much you are growing.
ReplyDeleteWe are now at the stage where the beds are starting to empty again Bilbo
DeleteSuch a wonderful sized plot. I'm interested about the red pears, what do they taste like?
ReplyDeleteNot sure about the taste of the red pears, LSS as so far we haven't had a crop. The trees are quite new
DeleteYour plot is a credit to you, everything looks wonderful..
ReplyDeleteOur buddleias are just coming into flower now.. I love the butterfly photos.
Julie :o)
I just wanted to capture the idea that we had lots of butterflies and bees on the flower, Julie
DeleteThe photo slideshows are great. I'm always amazed at the amount of land you are tending.
