Another week in the Garden


Another week of lockdown has passed and over the weekend the Potatoes have grown even more  and the runner beans have been planted





























The Carrots are still in the greenhouse and look to be growing well









 The Tomatoes and cucumbers are really coming on well though a little concerned with the Aubergine though they are starting to grow





















Sweet-peas are in the tubs now outside the back door and the roses are now budding well
I was very pleased to see the Agapanthus are starting to flower


I think by tomorrow they will be nearly in flower
I will leave you with this picture of the first rose to come into bloom 
It's called Blue For You.
Take Care
Taking Part in Our World Tuesday

You will be self sufficient before long. That blue rose is a very unusual colour.

Your garden is looking beautiful. It's always so heart-lifting to see the first rose bloom of the season.

Good job with the container garden! Mine is in the ground and a bit farther on, as you'd expect in the hot part of California.

I think it's so good to be self sustainable with growing your own veges etc, at least you know how they were grown and what's gone into them.

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Don't get called that often. TBH it's the first time I have really tried it

Billy Blue Eyes said...

You wait till the other roses come out

Billy Blue Eyes said...

It is I must admit

Billy Blue Eyes said...

I cannot see us ever getting like that. We have another blue to come out yet

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Got to be done

Billy Blue Eyes said...

It is and I am glad it is that one, we nearly gave up on the plant and ended up moving it to a large pot

Billy Blue Eyes said...

It is I can't wait for it to flourish

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Never tried to grow anything this way before

Billy Blue Eyes said...

I doubt we will ever be self sustainable, the garden is too small it is more for fun

Ella said...

You have become a real gardener! Think your wife is very happy!
The last photo is very beautiful!

Billy Blue Eyes said...

No I cannot claim that honour, that goes to my wife. I just provide the manpower

As well you and your wife should be happy, John. Those veggie plant are really doing great and such beautiful flower colors. Nice to see everything growing so well.

I'm so jealous that you are in your garden! I have to wait for months before I can start planting.
It looks like a great garden with such lovely flowers and veggies in your future. That rose is just spectacular!

It's great to see you at 'My Corner of the World' this week!

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Thank you but I feel you mixed me up with someone else

Thought I would join you more often so added a link in my linky column
