Lady Bug Says ... Grow Your Own!

Neither the Mr or I were born 'green fingered' by any means! But once we had our little patch of land to call our own our gardening instinct seemed to kick in!

The Mr has done the majority of the structural work and I have concentrated more on the actual plants! When we got our house I knew that I wanted to grow lots of fruit and veg, for no real other reason than because I could!

The fruits of our labour(please excuse the pun!) are now starting to show :)

Hugging carrots! I'm sure the neighbours thought I was more than a little strange when I let out a squeal when I discovered these!

Chilli's, Raspberry's(munching on a bowl of these as I type) & Peppers

Runner Beans & My 1st Tomato :)

The first gladioli of the year, sunflowers and lilies!

I hope you all find these kind of posts interesting :)

Lady Bug Says ... Spring Garden Update

Evening Lovelies!

Hope you all enjoyed the sunshine this weekend! A few people have said they would be interested in seeing a Spring garden post, see here it is!

Since getting my own house 18 months ago and being presented with a big patch of mud for a garden my interest in growing things has gone from non-existent to very green fingered!

I am still very much a 'stick it in the ground and hope for the best' kind of gardener, but it seems to be working! I don't really know the names of alot of things, so if you do know what any of the plants are in the photos please let me know!

Raised beds with tulips and a silver birch tree

Funny spiky tulips!

And fluffy edged ones!

Something that looks abit like a raspberry but isn't!?

Tulips and some other pretty things!

No idea what these are?!

My magnolia tree!!

I've got lots of veggie seeds growing in the greenhouse and a gazillion(ok like 30) sunflowers starting to grow(I am secretly hoping I will break a world record with how tall they will grow!
