Four Years On

Good for you . . . all your hard work has paid off, and it looks great!

wonderful. you have done really well

sorry for the mistake above ,what a great blog well done for all your hard work

You have achieved so much Nariz and it can only get better the more you use it. Yours is a proper sunken garden and in such beautiful surroundings........

Nariz you have achieved so much you must be really proud. Love the rose and the hosta and fern look really sturdy plants. Congratulations on getting this far.

That's a lot of loveliness achieved in a relatively short time Nariz! To have a garden so lush in such an arid looking site is admirable, you must be continually watering! It's looking fab, and the roses are so lovely!

It looks fantastic. Boy have you worked hard Nariz.

Your house is beautiful and you have a productive garden now. It's probably been hard work for you but it's all coming together by the look of it now. Congratulations :)

Congratulations on your hard work ... give yourselves a pat on the back ... it's absolutely wonderful. : o )

Woow whot a lovely place to live and you have done well with the garden :)

Thanks guys! I'm sure you all know what hard gardening work is like and how good it feels to know you don't have to work quite that hard again - at least on the same patch! ;o)

What a great job you've done there Nariz, everything looks so healthy despite (what i can imagine) are very high temperatures. Do you manage to keep everything watered? Do you have an underground well?
Enjoy your homegrown veg!

Temps are not that high, Donna, as we're in the north but, yes, we do have underground springs so watering the garden is not a problem for us. As you can see in the photos, we have an arrangement of yellow hoses laid out amongst the veggie beds, so we just fix the squirty end onto the hose by the bed we want to water and away it goes!

Well done lots of hard work but it has certainly paid off:)

My word, Nariz, what a transformation!
I am so pleased for you, well done .

you should feel proud to Nariz, your home and gardens are beautifull and waking to that scenery each day must be great, lovely pics to :o))

Thanks Nana d, Xela and Sandra. :o)

I didn't imagine you had so much garden, Nariz! Your veg is looking good & in a short time you should be able to grow much more to eat!

I am writing my 2nd blog of the year on the allotment I share with my friend Gerry from church, I'll be posting it in a day or two. We are much more advanced this year compared to last. The very warm April has made a huge difference to how the plants have grown but it has also turned the allotment into a desert of grey sand! Unfortunately we had no manure or compost to add to the soil. Gerry got hold of a few sacks of horse manure but by then it was rather late to put into the soil. Nevertheless we did dig out some trenches which we buried it in & a couple of weeks later planted the potatoes on top of them. Hope the potatoes turn out alright!

They should do - getting their feet into that! We were short of manure this year too. Our neighbour had to have a knee operation so obviously he was unable to do all the usual things for a while, but next year we should be back on track.
