It has to be fun and educational for you to have a permanent video history of your past gardens. I take notes on my garden each year and they are in the same notebook, so far. But, having that visual library has to be so great. I've never recorded or even taken very many pictures of my garden. I have a few memories that pop up on fb tho. And that is so fun! To see how far I've come in the same plot I've been gardening now for 12 years. What I've learned, changed and moved. But, you have an actual week to week diary of that. Plus people that are learning from you!! So awsome.
I agree, it's really cool to see! I like to record lots of things about my life for the reason that memories of things can shift over time as we focus on different aspects of them. With the garden, I often remember only the extremes of very good and very bad, and it would distort my comparisons if I didn't have the more neutral evidence of these tours. I do also keep a notebook for quick reference information year to year.
Your garden looks amazing! While you're hoping for some rain, I could do with some drier weather. This year has been really wet in western Europe, resulting in sooo many slugs. Besides peas, garlic, 1 cucumber and tomatoes, nothing managed to survive the slug invasion. I removed half of my tomatoes yesterday due to blight (normally this would happen in September or October). Luckily I planted a lot of tomatoes that are quite blight resistent.
Oh no! It's rough when one pest gets really out of control like that. I know it's too late, but in the future look into how to reduce their available habitat, and how to encourage the predators that make sense for your area.
and rashberries, last wummer was my first time I actually got green leaves and a few rashberries.... so for next summer as we are winter here in Adelaode.... do I now cut them right back or just leave them see what happens?.
In the spring, look for which branches have green growth and which ones don't, and cut back all the dead ones then. Raspberry branches (aka canes) will fruit twice before dying off.
Your garden is beautiful, and so are you :)

Beautiful tour! I miss my old houses strawberry patch
Hey you what amazing garden tour thanks for sharing this with us 😮😮
I bet that Adirondack chair is just a glorious place to chill. I’ve been trying to figure out how to add some seating into the garden area.

Woo sweetcorn
Thanks for the tour garden looks great...
Great ❤❤❤❤❤
Looks good. My sweet peppers get really big ,there's no way I could plant them that close.
Mine would normally be a little bigger, but their growth was stunted at the beginning of the season so I planted them quite close to make up for it.
and rashberries, last wummer was my first time I actually got green leaves and a few rashberries.... so for next summer as we are winter here in Adelaode.... do I now cut them right back or just leave them see what happens?.

so with your cucumbers do you think trelling them better than just having them on the grown?....
Yes trellising is better than the ground, they are less likely to be chewed on by pests when they're on a trellis.
When will we see another appearance by your sister? Doesn’t she visit in the summertime?
She sometimes does. I'm not sure if she'll make it this year but we will see!
