Better late than never....

It looks like this sunshine has spurred things into life.
This morning, on closer investigation, I discovered the first promise of an aubergine.


And the peppers are coming!


The other day, I was browsing the internet for any bargains. I found a 3 tier step for putting my herbs on so I can have them nearer to the back door.



This part of the garden is a bit of a haven for snails usually so I'm hoping that the slug tape will work. Have put some around each foot of the steps and some of the pots and window boxes. I paid about £5 for what is 4 metres of tape. I've cut each strip in half in the hope it will go further. If it works it will be well worth it.



And finally, my favourite thing in the garden at the moment. The rhubarb leaves. Simple things please simple minds.

  2. I love aubergine flowers - lets hope they all produce aubergines - they can be very temperamental.

  3. A plot neighbour tries growing aubergines every year but has only been really successful once in the past five years.
    I like the tree-tier step, which will look good when filled with pots of plants.
    Gardens provide so many simple pleasures! Flighty xx
