January 2009 - How does your garden grow?

I've come just indoors after a few hours gardening and enjoying the cool night air. Our garden has at last count 14 different varities of fruits and berries! It isn't a huge garden but it's rambling and quite overgrown, which is a bonus for us as the birds can't see where the good fruit is :)


My big task to get done before we go on holidays next week is cut back the raspberry canes that have finished fruiting. They have become so overgrown that they are all tangled in amongst the branches of the apple trees.
The summer crop of raspberries has just about finished and a new autumn crop is growing now so I really want to get them tied up and supported before we go away.
My veggie garden is looking up......lettuce has started to really thrive and the tomatoes are just starting to plump up. My snow peas are being attacked by something but it doesn't bother me as they were planted just for the girls to have something to pick and eat straight out of the garden.
Here's a few pics taken tonight
