Congrats, you just created the first gardening thread!
Strawberries, blackberries, white currants and gooseberries WOW!
I love the first two. I've never seen white currants and gooseberries taste too bland for my liking. Have you ever tasted mulberries (shahtoot in paki lingo) Oh Glo, they are the tastiest berry in the world. Please grow them! lol
My garden is full of weeds and the earth to hard to dig, so not much going on there to post about
We only have a small garden, but we try to grow as much food in it as we can.
Hehe.. it's still rather bigger than mine, though!
Oddly enough, after years of neglect the Mrs and I have finally turned our attention to gardening and I had a vanload of new sand, soil, compost and such delivered this morning ready for the holiday weekend. We are trying to grow food as well, the store prices have gone through the roof recently and whereas in the past I doubt it would have been economical it certainly is now.
P.S If anybody has any tips about how to keep slugs away from salad plants without harming them (both slugs and salad), please let me know!

It's surprising how much food you can grow, even in a small space ...
Good luck with your gardening!
Peace glo
Here I stand.
I can do no other.
May God help me.
Amen.

But we do have hedgehogs visiting our garden in the summer. They can be pretty noisy! And they are great, because they eat slugs and other pests.
The hedgehog house is full of straw, so they can rest during the day or even hibernate in the winter.
We only built the hedgehog house last summer, and no hedgehog spent the winter in it. A whole lot of enormous spiders did instead.

I asked because i saw the pic with the hedgehog house and i didn't know if its empty or not. I like them . - they are very cute.
Why you didn't plant the potatoes in the land
We don't have much space.
Plus, you can stack tyres up and continue to fill them with soil. As the plant grows up towards the light, it continues to grow longer roots - and therefore more potatoes.

It means you can easily pick up the potatoes from soil, removing the tyres (in the end). I have a very small garden and i put nothing until now there (just finished to build the house and i have to clean the land), so i am looking forward to arrange the green space with maximum benefit
lol Ohhhh myyyyy! Thank God I have a strong stomach. :laugh:
LOOOL!
Same here!! hahahaa
lol
Glo, mashallah ur garden is so amazing, and whats best is how u make pots wit tires, and not waste hose water instead u use rain water! Thats so amazing mashallah!

My husband is pretty handy when it comes to making stuff.
And we both feel quite strongly about environmental issues and the environment.
So reusing and recycling comes quite naturally to us.
Looking forward to your garden pics.

I fancy doing a bit of gardening myself now. The only problem is that whatever I plant soon dies. I even tried growing some basil and watercress on my windowsill. Some weedy looking things came up but nothing like the pics on the seed packet. I thought it would grow some more but I think that was as much as it was going to go cuz soon it started dying. I never got to make that tomato and basil pasta I was so looking forward to.
