Oh, I love fresh-from-the-garden veggies!
Bri, how do you keep the bunnies out of your garden? That's been the biggest problem for us.

Well done Bri, that is brilliant   I hope you enjoy your veggies. My DH dug a border in our mess of a garden at the weekend and pulled up a few slabs to lay some turf. It looks so much better already. Really pleased. Wooley |

Bri, how do you keep the bunnies out of your garden? That's been the biggest problem for us. I have a very simple fence and gate around it.....It is made aout of plastic coated chicken wire, it is about 2 1/2 to 3 feet tall and but you have to bury a portion of it in the ground. I think about 6 inches down is good. |

Will you be doing it organically ? Or using the old pesticides ? Well..... I've been lucky so far that I haven't had to use anything yet......I ususally try to go the organic route but if I really have to I will break out the pesticide. Is that a climbing rose peeping over the fence, pretty colour Yes it is....Good eye CP..... I posted some flower pictures last year, maybe I will take some more and post them this year...... This year I got the flower bug bad.....Every couple of days I am coming home with more flowers and Christine just looks at me and shakes her head......I know she is wondering were I think I am going to plant them, but I always find a place. |

aww yes please Bri, I'd love to see your flowers. I remember the photos you posted, absolutely gorgeous I miss my little courtyard  I used to be just the same, once you get the bug, you just cant help buying more...... I have planted out a few plants here I had in pots, but my heart isnt in it, as the place is rented. I think the hardest part for me of moving was leaving my plants....ones that I had nurtured over years.... *sigh* one day, I will have my own little space to potter about again in ...til then please indulge me with your photos Yeah, you defo deserve a beer for that !
