Garden updates

[-:Undertaker:-]

I wondered if anyone was into gardening/likes nature type things and we could share some photos in this thread through the summer.

I posted a while ago I was training a number of rambling roses up the house/trees, and here is my Alberic Barbier rambling rose that's been in less than a year and is already about 11ft tall. Will eventually reach heights of 20-25ft and has beautiful white/yellowy apple-scented flowers.

He looks so happy and healthy.

Prefer house plants as they need less love.

Oh wow thats grown a fair amount.. I have an ability to kill anything living.. Mum gave me a plant 2 weeks ago (unsure why) but she said it only needs watering once a week, which is ideal for me, but I bet I'll still murder it

My house is filled with real looking fake plants because I do like how they look etc, but I don't like looking after them.. Ironic that I want kids

See I'm the opposite, I find house plants quite difficult but outdoor plants really easy. But then I am drawing on 18 years experience!!!

Here's my Wisteria today over the garden archway in all her spring glory.

should grow them california reaper chillis

Carolina they're mental, not a big fan though because it's basically JUST heat without the flavour. Not sure what variety mine are as I was given the seeds but hoping for something that's tasty as well as having a kick! Loving your wisteria arch, very romantic

He's grown another 2ft at least in 11 days and his first flowers are opening.

It's growing so fast!!! I love that the flowers are just starting to bloom

Front bed roses (Rosa Rugosas, also known as the Beach Rose) starting to open.

Most of them are only 1 year old, put them in last year as 1ft sticks and have showered them in feed. They flower all summer so should be a good show, bees LOVE them.
