    How does your garden grow? (OP)


    I love the growing season!

    We only have a small garden, but we try to grow as much food in it as we can.
    I thought I'd share some pictures with you here.

    Please feel free add your own gardening pictures ...

    Here is our garden in its full glory! Taken this morning from the upstairs window:

    garden 1 - How does your garden grow?

    The soft fruit patch (strawberries, blackberries, white currants and gooseberries)

    softfruit 1 - How does your garden grow?

    The runner beans (only just taking off):

    beans 1 - How does your garden grow?

    The rhubarb, nexy to the home-built 'wormery'

    rhubarb 1 - How does your garden grow?
    How does your garden grow?

    Peace
    glocandle ani 1 - How does your garden grow?

    Here I stand.
    I can do no other.
    May God help me.
    Amen.

    Come, let us worship and bow down •
    and kneel before the Lord our Maker

    [Psalm 95]

    ^ That's wicked, glo!

    Does your pond contain any small fish? It might try to eat them!

    Should I seek a source of law other than God, when it is He Who has sent down unto you the Book (Qur'an) fully explained? And those whom We have given them the Book know that it has been sent down from the Lord with truth, so be not of those in doubt.

    No, we have no fish.
    We are hoping for this to become a wildlife pond, rather than an ornamental pond. Although I wouldn't mind a couple of little sticklebacks.

    The frog is much smaller than it appears in the picture. Only a couple of inches long, or so.

    Cool. You better get some food for it to eat before it hops away again then, if you want it to stay.

    Re: Pond update.

    Peace Glo,

    Your garden pond is coming along very nicely. As for our garden, I am about to go out and snap a few photos of it and post them here. We have eaten some of the collard greens that we have in the garden and will soon have yellow summer squash to eat.

    Salam

    BTW I did put gin trash around our tomatoes and peppers, but unfortunately, it killed most of them. Apparently, it had not finished breaking down and "went through a heat". This past weekend, I brought a Compost Tumbler from my sister's house that she was not using. Insha'Allah we will use it to finish composting the gin trash and our grass clippings.

    Re: How does your garden grow?

    Wow sister glow...
    it seems a lot of hard work has been put into that...
    wow! im amazed!

    i love all the greenery (
    unfortunately our garden has no greenery! whats the point of having a garden with nothing green in it.
    i call it the suana cos its made out of contemporary wood apparently (according to my parents since it was designed by them) since when does wood become contemporary????????

    i think i have been too polite and let them take over my garden i will change some things aeound this summer Insha'Allah and whenever they visit i'll blame the change on damage caused by strong winds or something $

    Oh, Eeman, the frog is beautiful, really!
    Such a delicate, fragile creature.

    I haven't caught it or touched it - but I like to look at it.
    How wonderful God's creation is!

    Re: How does your garden grow?

    Barbara and Mustafa, your garden looks wonderful!
    Isn't it a joy to eat your own grown vegetables?

    The last week here in the UK was very wet and rainy, but not too cold - perfect weather for the courgettes, cucumbers and tomatoes, but also the soft fruit.

    The raspberries are coming to their end now; we've had the first runner beans; and we are still waiting for the tomatoes to ripen ...

    We had a lovely gooseberry tart last weekend, and there are enough gooseberries left for more ...

    Re: How does your garden grow?

    This is a photo of a courgette flower. Isn't it beautiful?
    The flowers are edible and can be stuffed - but they don't stay open for long.
    This one is already starting to close now, only a few hours after I took the picture.

    Glo, what is a courgette? The plant looks similar to a squash.

    Re: How does your garden grow?

    I believe you call it zucchini in the US, Mustafa (as indeed we do in Germany).

    And yes, it is related to squashes, marrows and pumpkins.
    You can tell by the flower and the leaves, can't you?
