We've had the lillies a few years now. Last year some red bugs ate them and they barely flowered at all but this year I've not seen one of those bugs and they're doing really well.

I love my garden!! When we moved in it was so bare but nice and simple with the lawn and patio. I had quite a few flowers in pots as we were renting before. In march we moved them all out and made a border for the flowers, bought some shrubs etc and used the pots for veg.

I cannot wait to taste the food!! I reckon next year I'm going to do potatoes and loads more of everything else. We have an extra bit of garden down the bottom which is where the drive came in. We fenced it off with a 3ft fence because it was about a 3 ft drop and Erin was crawling etc. James last year flattened it all out and laid grass seed. However I reckon next year I may convert it to a proper veg garden.

I'm not surprised you love your garden it all looks fab and more veg next year sounds like a great idea. I was particularly drawn to your beautiful lilies as they are my favourite flower. I'd like a veg garden too next year - probably too late for this year now :roll: .

I bet they will taste all the nicer for you growing them yourself. May try myself next year, didn't realise you could plant so many varieties in pots.
