New Life in the garden

I just love my garden...

So I have planted some herbs in a flowerbed near the front door, where I can get at them easily and thus filling up a space that would otherwise grow weeds. I have planted six altogether, but here is just a sample:


On the steps I have dwarf beans, tomatoes, strawberries, a couple of vines and some other fruit bushes. All in pots of course, otherwise they would be digging their roots into the steps (duh!)


Along the side of the house, Hubby fixed a string climbing frame, so I have some climbing French beans growing in troughs there. Not sure how they are doing to be honest, as when they were planted out, the first thing they did was to shed all their leaves! Some are growing new leaves, but I think I might have to add some more seeds to ensure they grow all right.
