The 'garden'

In quote marks because it is only a garden in a loose sense. I am an enthusiastic but not brilliant gardener. Nonetheless here are some pictures of our very wild back garden, which despite a summer of neglect I am still proud of, and is much better than the miles of grass we had when we moved in in February.

Ivy helping Will in the shed

Apples! One of the main selling points of the house was the mature apple tree in the garden

My favourite view. The trampoline is covered because the builders next door have been having fires

Towards the house. I forgot to water the greenhouse for a week and everything in there (which isn't much) has gone a bit peaky

My one triumph, a pumpkin well on its way!

Ivy foraging for blueberries

etc

Cats sat on my onions so they're all pathetically small

And some more bits and bobs

Not exactly self sufficient just yet, but I discovered yesterday that the cucumber had gone off so the chard, onions and spinach from the garden helped out last night's stir fry.
