Well done Stree, super healthy looking garden. This is my first year experimenting with non veggie plants and have finished planting up a bed with Banannas, dahlias, sunflowers, love lies bleeding, chrysanthemum, Ricinus, sweetcorn and squashes. I did say experimental! Could look great could look a mess.
Keep us posted with more pics as the season develops.

Thank you Totty.
Your plant mix sounds intriguing, hope it works out as you wish.
Heres the next lot of pics on my little tour:
This is going past the arch thing the other way, more of a working area at the minute. I intend to make a full border where the Robinia and birches are. Got a sweetpea cane frame at the end its the one I used copper pipe as a cane support on. got more sweetpeas in the next bit too

Those last sweetpeas were planted out earliest and it shows........They seem to  like this spot.
I made a bean wigwam from some branches of a rowan that was getting out of hand, I like the rustic look it has.
Further to the end of the garden is where the PCMS squad live. As you can see, they live in a gated community, so quite posh.
I am allowed in to do cleaning and menial tasks, see to food, drink and other comforts.

Just a couple around the greenhouse. Theres a couple of stone sinks here, one with  saxifrage and one still awaiting a purpose, along with a massive carved stone corbel, found in a neighbours garden. Another one is on temporary duty as a step. Intend to plant it up though.
Some Alpine gardening before long.
I made a coldframe but it was useless, solid sides and only the top clear never really worked, so I upended it and swapped the hinges around and now its proving useful! Especially for taller stuff.
And the old pot sink too, doing a grand job with the water butt.
Everything in the greenhouse is watered from here, from fresh sown seeds right through.
I never use tap water. Since when did rain cost anything or have chlorine and fluoride in?

You've crammed an amazing amount in and I'm impressed by your ingenuity in the recycling of things!
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...
