My favourite photos from the garden each month.

January

• Veggie garden was going strong with corn, tomatoes, zucchini and pumpkin growing well.
• The herb pots of basil, mint and thyme were flourishing.
• Lots of pretty summery flowers were out and I must remember to plant more salvias, petunias,and cat mint this year as they were very pretty.

February

• The roses are still flourishing
• The eggplant and zucchini have fruit
• The corn is doing well

March

• We have a nice haul of corn and zucchini
• The sunflowers are out
• Tomatoes are appearing (note: they were planted far too late)
• Eggplants are being harvested
• What’s left of my crepe myrtle is in flower. The wet summer took it’s toll on my poor crepe myrtle I lost half of it a couple of years ago when the wind took it down, then on a windy day in February what was left split in two.

April

• Autumn is settling in, the leaves are changing colour
• Pumpkins and zucchini are fruiting, but it’s now a race against the cool weather to ripen. Planting them earlier this year will work out better.
