A living fence

This pyracantha in our neighbours garden behind our garage is full of bloom, every time I pop to my composter all I can hear is the buzz of bees, they love these blossoms, later in the year the berries form and then the birds descend for a feast. These berries are orange, I have a smaller plant growing along our fence below, it's a fantastic wildlife attraction. 

My honeysuckle behind my tiny shed is blooming, the scent is wonderful, I took a cutting last year and I now have a second plant, which I will pop in further along this back fence. This area is dense, I have smaller plants further along, which should grow and fill the rest of the space. My white climbing rose is blooming in the far corner, finally my living hedge is growing.

I could not plant my mock orange plant into the ground, not enough root room, there is nothing behind the fence as the garden behind is lower, so I moved a broken big pot here, it's growing well and for the first time I have flowers growing. This area can't be seen from the house, it's purely for me to view and enjoy when I am working close to or in my greenhouse, it's wilder than the rest of the garden, I do love mixed hedges, and this is becoming my version. 

This area was last shown here, at the beginning of the month, hubby has cleared all the dried wood from the wood store, we were not using it, he advertised it on a free site and various people came with bags to take it all away. We have kept the structure of the wood store, hubby made a raised base for the green plastic trays to sit on, the structure was too wide so he popped a dividing wall inside, the trays sit neatly inside, with spare roof tiles stored underneath and bigger items in the other space, I can access everything much easier.

I keep all the plastic pots and saucers in the green trays, I reuse them every year for growing on plants, I was given the trays from our fruit and veg guy, they are very useful. I do tend to hoard bits for the garden, things can always be reused, the frame the trays sit on inside the shelter was made using the old gate posts, which I kept from our refit 18 months ago. The camping table with small plants on will soon be packed away, leaving plenty of space.

We have had plenty of rain and my water buts are full again, everything is growing in the garden, the little ones visited and helped to eat all the ripe strawberries,  there are plenty more to come, we also have picked more rhubarb, my blueberries are forming. Broadbeans and cabbage plants are all doing well, I have flowers on all four of my tomato plants and my cucumber plant, I aim to pull my Japanese onions on the next dry day, I will add to the soil and then plant my runner beans, I got another pot of them from the market, my beans are a no show.
