It starts with the beautifully built entrance to the garden. Built several years ago, by Sandy's own design, made, partially, of a typical English Lych Gatr as well as one seen in Germany that was built by a "Wanderschaft". Once through the gate, you end up being taken on a beautiful tour of flowers, roses, trees, perfectly manicured grass and shrubbery. Take a walk through our member @Sandy Ground's beautiful garden.
This is a long running thread where our members show off what vegetables they're picking out of their garden on any given day. Knowing what vegetables some of our experienced gardeners are harvesting on any given day will help new gardeners understand which crops grow in which seasons.
Share your photos of today's harvest with, or without, commentary and see what other members are getting out of their gardens.

Saw this topic on another gardening forum and thought it was a great idea. I'm assuming folks are doing at least a little something in their gardens almost every day, so this could be a place to keep everyone else updated on the little things you're doing. Who knows, it might remind someone else that they need to get out and do the same in their gardens! It'll also be interesting to see how different people, from different parts of the world, are tending to their gardens on any given day...
Hello! This is my Euphorbia persistans bonsai from my greenhouse here in Morris Park in the Ozarks .I'm all about staging Cactus and Euphorbias.
Well actually I've always done gardening (since 7) but work got in the way 😁
Carrying on from what I said on another thread, I used to work on Churches, Listed Buildings and generally old stuff. If it had been built a while ago and needed a bit of looking after, that's what I did.
I worked all over the country, staying away for weeks or months at a time, which was a bit upsetting with the children but I had to go where the buildings were. Try as I might, I couldn't make them come to me...

Works great for rinsing off veg outside so’s not to have dirt going down my drains.
And this little beauty: [ATTACH type="full" size="810x1080"]1727[/ATTACH]Grapefrit knife!! Believe it or not, it is quite handy for weeding under the leaves of short plants like brassicas and lettuces; you know, those little tiny weeds that come up right next to the plant stalk. I find it extremely handy, especially since...
Seeds from a Crinodendron 'Hookerianum', the only ones on a shrub in my garden. They are about the same size as a pearl but egg shaped. Having done a little research they grow true to the mother plant, so thought - let's give them a go.

Research suggested sowing them and putting them outside for a winter cold spell and they would germinate in spring. But my area has had a sunny and warm autumn and all but one has...
