Some Pics

I had to buy a separate usb cable for a phone/pc connection - I'm not sure it was worth it but here are a few I've taken so you can get an idea of the limited scope of the garden and what I'm trying to do:

(1) Caterpillar-infested brassicas popping through together with a rather lovely aubergine plant which already has two small fruits. Also caught in the pic are hanging baskets with tomatoes, a trough of peppers, one of the troughs of strawberries and the old bathroom fittings and suchlike.  The beautiful wall to the right, built with Devonshire stone, was smothered in ivy with stems up to an inch thick - nightmare.
(2) Clematis 'Elizabeth' beginning to scramble up a dark and dank corner of the back yard.  Nothing was here before except falling stonework and peeling paint.
(3) The infestation of ivy has been taken down from the walls of the front garden and around the front door and replaced by Trachelospermum ('Star Jasmine') growing up the porch support beam with another Clematis 'Elizabeth' to the right (you can't go wrong with Elizabeth).
(4) The grafted Giulietta tomato growing in an old wicker Christmas hamper - and thriving with beautiful baby plum tomatoes already showing through :)
(5)  A metre square potato and onion bed in the sunniest part of the back yard - lucky if it sees 3/4hrs a day but the potatoes love it. I'll reserve judgement on the onions.
(6) The weathervane - not a very good pic I admit but I couldn't get any closer.
(7) Me, amidst all the boxes and the mess, waving hello to you.
