What’s going on in your garden (2026)?

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

The very last of the figs. Frost got the tree last night and the leaves are now dying back for winter. This is the end of my fig harvest this season.

I also raided the veg plot. Fresh tomatoes that are ripe or nearly ripe, the last cucumbers, a few more courgettes, and some warrigal greens which went into tonight's evening meal.

There were also some raspberries

I've also got a cherry tree on its way. Lacking a growing passionfruit vine to buy, I bought seeds instead, there there after 2 other plants I've totally forgotten about... checks email. A jostaberry tree and a blood plum satsuma (which is a plum tree).

• Passionfruit 'Purple'
• Jostaberry
• Cherry 'Stella'
• Blood Plum 'Satsuma'

They'll temporarily go into large pots for a few years whilst they grow, along with the pomegranate, red gooseberry, and the lime tree which also need potting on. Then the blueberry needs moving once it's dormant, and the barberry the same. Right now it produces loads of berries but doesn't get enough sun to get them ripe, so it also needs a new home this winter.

I've been watching the weeds grow in the garlic patch for too long...

Much better!

They're starting to flower so I'll be collecting scapes any day now.

I've spent the past two days cleaning up the bromeliads. It's painstaking work, but I'm nearly there. They're all desperately short of water, but I think we're in for a rainstorm in about the next 10 minutes...

Glad I mowed our back lawns yesterday because today is

My 3 new fruit trees have arrived. I'll have to plant them at the weekend.

Here's the link to that tool.

Does it do my location?

Mrs. GH and I took a trip to the country greenhouses today to buy a bunch of flowers to plant, along with some more things to plant when we start our vegetable garden. There's 6 thyme plants, 4 chives (onions), 7 tomato plants, and about 8 pepper plants. We're supposed to get frost a couple of nights next week, so we're going to hold off on planting anything until after that. I still need to rototill up a space in the yard. The flowers will all be going in planters on the back porch and deck. This is in addition to other plants and herbs that Mrs. GH already bought.

Weather app said it was supposed to rain sometime Sunday morning so I planted on Saturday. It did rain last night so today I mulched and caged the tomatoes.

I've got 2 squash plants, this is 2 months and the other is 1 month. Staggered harvest thing.

I've got 2 cucumbers about a month up.

Nine chili plants of 5 different varieties to get in the ground tomorrow.

This is my saffron patch. They're just starting to put leaves up. There's about 400 bulbs/corms in there.

Then the veg plot, the courgettes are still going..

But the tomatoes are almost done. I'm just giving these chance to ripen.

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

And I was able to get the new fruit trees into temporary homes (expecting a couple of years).

It's hard to see, there's 5 containers there.
2 blueberries, 1 jostaberry, 1 plum and 1 cherry.

Okay, everything is in the ground. I still need to completely mulch the tomato, squash, and cucumber area. That really helps with retaining water. I don't usually have to water anything until somewhere in August. It's getting drier every year though, we'll see.

Chii plants, 9 of them, with the weed control cardboard. They are, from the top:
