Exactly@ Aunt Marg I knew you would think my bean dance was one of sophistication and worthy of being taken to a ball.
However I do have my second dance, I've been taking lessons from a pro. :giggle:

@Aunt Marg - Just seen it, it is hilarious, not sure I can sleep with that image in my head. So so funny. But hey what a mover, the hip movement is quite impressive. Think a belt or a pair of braces might be a good xmas present. Just can't stop laughing, my eyes are watering with tears of laughter. Brilliant. :ROFLMAO::giggle:

ROFLMAO!

What a dance party it would be, Treacle! :)

Believe me, when you witness me do the elephant tweak, you'll be sure to have nightmares after! :ROFLMAO:
 
Your garden looks terrific! Well done. The wild flowers are nothing like bleeding hearts, sorry to say. You don't say where you are but they look a lot like the crocosmia we used to have in the vacant lot next door in Scotland. (they grow from a bulb) Leaves are similar to day lillies but the photo is too far away to make a definitive identification. Since moving into our new house, I have had to look up a LOT of plants to figure out what they are! Let us know if you find out. Enjoy the dance party! Sounds like great fun :)

Thanks @Myquest55. I looked up your suggestion and it is Crocosmia. It seems to grow more profusely each year but I really like the vibrant colour. I'm in the South West , Swindon, England. Thanks again ☺
 
Forgot to add that this year I found it difficult to lift heavy bags of compost so I saw this and have used it. Found it on Amazon. Lightweight squares that expand when put in water. Have only used it for the spring plants so will let you know the outcome. It comes in smaller packs. (10Litres). Just thought this might be useful to others. ☺

@Treacle, what a magnificent harvest!

Your beds are so neat; I love your garden. I would love to see your pots/ornamental area when it's in bloom.

Thankyou @RadishRose Will keep you updated. I like order and neatness and like to always make the best of what I have so when the greenhouse blew down, I thought I could make use of the area. I also like to make do and mend. Think I got that from being brought up by my grandparents who lived and fought in WW2. (Not grandma but grandfather) 😉 🤗 🤗

All tomatoes picked now. Probably 2X the amount in the pictures. That was from 10 seeds!!! Beds are all put to bed now but I need to repair a couple of the coverings. All spring seeds planted in pots in what was the greenhouse area.View attachment 123843View attachment 123844View attachment 123845View attachment 123846

Your post got me super excited, looking forward to my raised garden, planter gardening for next year. My raised, 3, 4x4ft areas are filled, ready to settle over the winter, have 7 half barrels in the back on my cement patio, which i've used for flowers, may do garden planting in them as well......plus i have some metal wash tubs that will get planted.
Your raised and planter gardens are fantastic.

Had done some raised and planter gardening along with the standard garden on the farm, worked out very well.

Can't wait till spring in 7 months......ENJOYED your post and the rewards of your labour.......BIG TIME.......THANKS.
 
I have a limited planting area, but put in 4 one gallon plants each year. I found a variety called Bobcat along with Celebrity. The other day I picked a tomato from the Bobcat plant and it weighed 17 ounces! That was a tomato !
The thing I like best about our tomatoes, is there are few seeds in them, as opposed the supermarket ones that are full of seeds and pulp

Looking forward to some pictures from you @MickaC . Very exciting. I love growing the seeds and watching the different stages. I am at my most peaceful when I'm growing and gardening. 🤗
