What a lovely rural setting you live in Sandra. Love the seating area but 800 tyres?? You must have a HUGE garden!

Yummie..........they look scrummie, :~))

thanks for all the lovely comments..Lily the garden is one and a half acres. i was given 800 tyres about ten years ago. it seemed like a good idea at the time.....we have found lots of uses for them. most of the big hedges are planted in tyres. it stops my husband and son strimming too close to them...

Hi Sandra, your archway and table are lovely ~ and how can you ever tear yourself away from such a brilliant view from your patio? ;-))

20 Jul, 2009

 

love the tyre idea very clever

20 Jul, 2009

 

It looks lovely and lush and green Sandra. I'm guessing you're not getting the strong drying winds. It's been windy here for weeks and I'm beginning to get demoralised by all the damage to my plants!

thanks..;-)

Silverbelle, i know what u mean . i hate going out my family say i'm a hermit...lol

Donnah, the plants in the tyres are filling out now. my mothers not too sure about it she thinks thinks i'm mad,,..,;-))

Paul,if its any consolation i have felt like that in the past.

now my whole garden is set up to do battle with the wind. the summer winds rarely cause any damage. its the winter winds that cause the damsge here. keep up the battle....

Love the round table Sandra...that's really nice.
Your tomatoes put mine to shame! :0)

20 Jul, 2009

 

Fluff these are my husband Julians tomatoes...they put mine to shame tooo...lol

Great garden, it makes mine seem claustraphobic. What do you feed those tomatoes on, I`m growing them for the first time and there`s nothing on the bottom and only a couple of trusses on the very top. I`ve planted them in large pots and then put the pots in the grow bag.

my husband Julian grows the tomatoes. he use an organic tomato feed every other time he waters. these are planted in a raised bed with garden soil enriched with rotted horse manure. he says water and feed often they should carry on growing for some time yet...good luck Stroller
