Yippee! And I do believe that's all your garden too!

I've got the pumpkin & black currants -- but not the gooseberry! Yours are a lot further along than mine...

Now that I'm old enough, I'm growing 'elderberry' bushes! Made my first jam last Fall and hope to live forever young. ;-)

I can see that pumpkin will be a force to be reckoned with. :-)

Wildside, thankyou for the card, lovely! these pictures were taken in my garden, fruit bushes in pots still as my imagination overtook my abiblity to dig more holes!!
Michael, elderberrys are very good, my mum used to make elderflower wine and then elderberry wine, too jolly after that to make jam! but I have had some and it is good, lots of vitimin c in those berrys.
Madcapmum, its my very first pumpkin baby!
Lowa, thankyou! you may notice I am not showing photographs of all the weeds though!
Nutmeg, thankyou , nice to have you visit, have quickly pooped into your blog but will be back tomorrow when I have more time, I'm just in and its late.
Sigrun, lucky you, it seems to be taking forever for stuff to ripen here, no tomatoes yet either.
Granny, thats very kind of you, thankyou, I'll be off to visit her as soon as.
