    These pictures show the garden in its current state. Each month we'll add more pictures to show you how the transformation of the garden is progressing.

    The broad beans doing very nicely

    The peas continue to thrive

    Some real growth on the runner beans

    Leek and corn among the vegetables planted recently

    Another success.. cauliflower ready for the pan!

    Our Tayberry is producing fruit!

    After an initial failure with the carrots, these need thinning out now...

    Janet's fan trained tree has lost some fruit - but that's the plan according to Jason!

    The beginning of an ornamental well...

    A view of the front of Janet's house - plenty of colour!

    The Soham Roses in full bloom

    The triangular border looks great!

    The herb planter looks good!

    The quiet area will be gaining a water feature in the next month...

    An overgrown lilac gets a haircut!

    The clean cuts on the lilac tree

    Janet has now covered the rose bed with bark chippings

    The bark will retain some moisture and keep down the weeds

    Ready for the patio now

    This should be lawn!

    Janet called in some experts to help sort out the lawn!

    The patches of lawn were sorted out by Phillip Jemson who we spoke to on week 43 of the show

     

    Don't forget to come back again soon and see how the garden is coming along!
