Ruby Rose's garden

As you can tell, it's a tiny paved yard at the back of a Victorian two-up, two-down. But I'm proud of how it's starting to come together because when we moved in 4 years ago, there was nothing but weeds and six half-dead trees, which I dug out myself.

These pictures are from last year, so I will update with this year's developments whenever I find the cable for my phone...

And proof that you can't keep a nosey dog out of the line of a camera lens no matter how quiet you are...

You have so much in a small space! It looks great and your patio set it super cute!
Are those little green housey things in the background?

It looks cute! I love your umbrella and chairs, and your puppers!

Your dachshund is gorgeous :)

And I love your garden, especially the table, chairs & umbrella. You have so many plants, it looks so green.

That's because it rains all the bloody time here!

Thanks! I bought the table and chairs from a boot sale, and painted them. And the brolly was a cheap one from Asda (Walmart) which I made a new cover for - you can't really see, but it's a blue and pink Cath Kidston-type mad rose print with an electric pink fringe!

Yes, they're little Garland raised beds with a metal frame and a removable plastic cover - tomatoes on the right, chillis and cucumber on the left. They were pretty cheap, and they've been really effective. I got this kind of raised bed: www.garlandproducts.com

How gorgeous! Bonus points for having a wiener dog guarding the place.

Dat puppeh ain't got no legs! <3 <3 <3

I love your garden, I wish mine was small enough to contain like that. I think miss Poppy would beg to differ though.
