This week with the hot weather my garden is doing rather well. I finally, almost, have a lawn again.
I’ve been sneaking out in the evenings and watering the trees and the mud lawn so it doesn’t die from the heat.
I recently shared photos of my fruit trees, and hopefully you can see the size increase of the plums.
Plums
The plums were about baked bean sized, now they are more like traditional sweet stall humbug sized.
Apples
I think this is an apple tree, but it might be a pear tree as I didn’t label them when I planted the trees. Whoops. Either way that’s lunch box fruit right there.
I spy berries
The raspberries look like fruit now, although it is tiny fruit.
Almost a lawn
Its not great, but look…. Green stuff not mud. Yay!
The bed the trees are in
The bulbs are sprouting up nicely, and some grass and wild flowers are also poking through the soil. The big bush at the back of this picture is our gooseberry bush.
The plants in my green house died, thanks to slugs. I put new seeds in and lines of salt on the green house floor to deter the little blighters. Whilst not really worth photographing yet those seeds are sprouting. Come on tomatoes, come on peppers, we love curries and pasta dishes in this house.
Looks great! The lawn is coming on and will soon be nice and green again! You will have to let me know if the salt works with the slugs, I have got my plants up high (on plastic chairs) in a bid to remove them from harm.

You have so inspired me to get out into my garden, but it is last priority after sorting the house so it may be next year! I love that you are growing fruit, it’s something I want to get into – this year I am just growing tomatoes. Looking at your lawn makes me feel slightly better about the mess that is mine :0)

Looks like you’ll have alot of fruit soon! I keep seeing pics of raspberry plants on HDYGG, I think I might have to get a few for next year. Hooray for green stuff

Poundland! Mine came from there and I get fruit. Cheaper than buying a punnet of berries.
I have a massive soft spot for berries! Such a satisfying feeling to grow your own isn’t it? That grass will soon grow is the sunny / wet weather swings continue and before you know it you’ll be rolling round in it having a picnic!
Thank you for joining in again

I should be a good gardener, I’ve got ideas and plans in my head i am just not so great at keeping my plants alive.
Your garden is beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

I don’t think its beautiful, maybe next week as its been thundery so its well watered and warm.
I love growing things to eat in the garden. Never ceases to amaze me.
Definitely an apple!

Good to know but I was hoping it was the pear tree.
