Looking good @Logan, love home grown fruit...did grow veg once too but found they needed too much space

 

[alp]

@Logan Holy smoke.. now I realise how amateurish I have been.. Your trees are laden with fruits. Shame I don't live near you, or I would just stand underneath the tree and chomp up all your fruits...

Did you take the pics yourself or your OH.. Do be careful..

 

[Logan]

@alp thanks. Yes i took them. I thought getting over the step would be difficult, but it was ok. I'm getting confused which forum I'm on.

 

[Upsy Daisy]

.....know the feeling @Logan

 

[Larisa]

I see you will collect an excellent harvest. What will you do with the currant? Canned food?

 

[Logan]

@Larisa, thanks. I always freeze the currants and gooseberries,to use later.

Lovely Logan
Growing our own fruit is so worthwhile......even in a small space. Gooseberries, red currants, apples and pears can be grown as cordons. Blackcurrants now are on more compact bushes and blueberries can be grown in pots.
I have peaches, apples, pears, blueberries, gooseberries and blackcurrants.....grow my own cornish clotted cream to go with them too

 

[Logan]

@Verdun, yes so rewarding. I've got blueberries and a pear. Got 3 plum trees,4 super column apples, one's a cooker.Do you have a cow as well.

 

[Verdun]

May get one tomoorow!

I got all kinds of goodies yesterday. New (to me) patio furniture I picked up for a steal, my lotus is sending up huge pads, and I got 3 canna lilies for the pond. I haz happiez today.

Love the water droplets on the waterlily leaves, @tbendl Now you just need a little black bird to walk on it... I love cannas. I bought 2 packets of seeds, but only 2 germinated and one died and one got pushed away by squirrel burying peanuts again.

Lovely place to relax or chill, @tbendl

@Upsy Daisy I go very close to the flowers and try to let the light shine onto the flowers.

I have thunders about 3 times and it rained properly, not just wetting the ground.. Love it - it's like a proper purge of the heat..and dirt. Love it.

 

[Upsy Daisy]

We have a weather warning in place for rain......and we haven't had any Very muggy and humid though. Just seen the TV forecast and it now looks like the rain has passed us by but Monday looks as if we will all be getting rained upon

@alp how close did you get to the wildlife then ?

@tbendl your garden looks beautiful, and a lovely place to chill out and relax.

Feeling a bit yuk today , side effects of the meds for the clot, Haven't really done much at all , except take a few cuttings also potted on some plants to create a winter display for my Mum's grave, planted out her summer one a few weeks ago

 

[tbendl]

Upsy take it easy and get better. I'm sorry your feeling yuck.
Thanks @alp and @Upsy Daisy! I went to Lowes for a saw and left with a rug, a pot, 15 plants, a tiki lamp, oh and almost forgot the saw. Hehe
I'm going to have a lovely outdoor space when I get done.

....you sound like me @tbendl ........pointless to resist isn't it
