These are the Dahlias in our garden, I no longer think that they are Edinburghs. They may be Smokey.

The garden when I finished on Sat 20th July 2009. The end still needs to be cleared but it is getting there slowly. Next year will need pots of flowers alongside the path to add some colour and draw in the bees.

This was just before I went on holiday, all of the seeds are planted and ready to grow. The next time I visited the radishes were over 60cm high!

This was the first time that the path had been completely cleared and cleaned for many years. Some of the concrete by the fence has been broken up by the plants growing through it. This was taken in October and only sprouts and swede were still growing. This year I need to be more organised to keep crops growing over the winter.

This was after my first visit to the garden, the first time that it had been cleared in over ten years and the first time that is had been dug like this for around 20 years.

At the time I intended it for fruit only because I also had an allotment.
