Well its not a bad sized garden for a modest terraced Victorian house. There is a patio in front of what you can see as well. Its far too much for me to cope with. I'm dependent on a gardener who I can ill afford these days.Nice!
What’s going on in your garden (2025)?

It looks like a nice "my space place".
Very tidy and inviting.

Hello. Garden has been in for a few weeks now. So far so good. Potatoes, tomatoes, green onions, peas, beans peppers, cabbage, garlic. I finally gave up on carrots, radish and beets. The clay is too dense for them. I have some zucchini and cucumber in mounds right along the back fence. Not sure how they will do. Too much shade, maybe.
Top left is a patio stone pad I laid down for a small greenhouse I hope to build soon. It's been in that shed since last fall. lol
String border around it is to stop my dog from ripping and tearing through it. She can't help herself.

If I didn't use them I don't think I could keep up! Factory across the road a bit lets me have all the wood from shipping crates I can haul away so no shortage of weights. They'll rot as well so I just till then in when fall gets here.round here those pieces of cardboard would have got up and left overnight.... we have a wind farm locally for a reason. now way I can use them as weed suppression.

The wood wouldn't be anywhere near heavy enough to stop things getting blown away round here

Today's lot:
Redcurrants are so delicious, and very underrated.

Are they? I honestly couldn’t comment on them I only remember them appearing as part of a mix and being quite sour, not necessarily in a bad way but definitely sour
Oh yes, they're sour all right. But so is rhubarb, and tamarind. A touch of sugar and everything changes.Are they? I honestly couldn’t comment on them I only remember them appearing as part of a mix and being quite sour, not necessarily in a bad way but definitely sour
My mum used to make redcurrant tarts, with her own short crust pastry. Divine.

Reminds me when my sister and I tried the neighbors unripe persimmons. Sour and puckery in a big way...

Yes but neither of those are masquerading as a red berry, you know the sort you have an expectation of.
Redcurrants look like sweet summer and taste like a gooseberry
