    Luke's Garden Gallery

    Luke's Garden!
    View from the patio including the main border where Luke is growing his veg

    The main border with tomatoes, sprouts and potatoes

    The Brussel Sprouts - Luke won't be doing these again next year - too time consuming apparently!

    The sprouts just starting to appear...

    The four varieties of tomatoes Luke is growing in his garden - Red Plum; Golden Sunrise; Shirley and Big Boy!

    The Red Plum Tomatoes are the first to ripen

    Rhubarb!

    May have to try harder with the lettuce next year!

    The last of the potatoes - they tasted great!

    Luke's new apple tree!
    It called Apple Ashmeads Kernel

    Luke's Rose Bush next to the Lavendar

    Luke's Scimea didn't always look this good apparently. A feed of iron helped beat the clorosis

    Giant sunflowers!

    The Dwarf Bamboo given to Luke by Jason

    An area Luke has transformed from rough lawn and rubble

    An old border now filled in with turf

    Luke was really pleased with this border - Lobelia, Heucra and Surfinias

    One of the Begonias Luke grew from scratch!

    Luke brightened up his patio with these Geraniums

    Two new shrubs for the border - Spirea and Flox

    The compost area is overflowing!

     

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