I have my first garden and am loving it. growing my own veg, herbs and flowers. I have a deep seated love of rose's, orchids and succulents.

@gwenniemom Mine is small but not as tiny as my parents. most things are in pots or one of 2 very tall raised beds. Unfortunately about 1/3 of my garden is taken up with my motorbike. Other wise I would cram even more in. I have manged to get 7 rose, 2 apple trees, 2 gooseberrys bushes, 1 sour cherry, strawberries a dwarf mulberry in so far. Along with herbs. Im trying to work out if I could squeeze another rose in. 3 of the roses are climbers that give me privacy as I'm very overlooked

@gwenniemom the apples and cherry are all dwarf and in pots so will be more like patio ones. It's quite amazing what you can grow in a pot though if you try. I should have tomatoes, climbing courgettes (they take up much less room) and cucumbers soon but it isn't warm enough to put them out yet
