The pic is from a couple of years ago. It always looks best in the spring. And my Welsh and Californian poppies self seed - or I might give them a bit of help as I love them. I also have self-seeding violets and a little acer growing from seed in one of my pots. I've tried to grow the red poppies but they don't take. The bluebells and wild garlic are just coming into flower.
Well, this is m
y fourth year of attempting a garden. The past two were not as successful as the first.

Good luck with the wild garlic, my friend has tried to get rid of them.
You have quite a big plot. Mine are two 40foot by 18foot = back and front. I don't grow veg though.
Wow!!!...you’ve been busy...I would love to grow my own vegetable garden,,I grew some tomatoes a few years back, the darn rats ate them, that were nesting under my decking at the time........you have worked hard....
Tell us what you’re growing @Spyder ?xx
Oh I like them they are under the tree in the shade with some bluebells. They haven't spread. That's my 'woodland' bit with ferns and a bit of well control ivy.
Well these are the 10-12 foot dwarfs.
Now, depending on the latitude even a variation of 100 kms, this will dictate or vary the length of the growing season and how large they get and in what quantities. And other factors as well, like how cooler or warmer, especially the winter temps, and the amount of seasonal rainfall. You know many folks think that bananas love constant high temps, and they do not. In fact the ideal temp range for this type of banana is 68-80 deg F.
Average growing time to maturity here is between 1-1/12 years. Sometimes I get 6 plants that will grow a couple or more bunches of bananas per plant say, of 30-40 in a bunch. That can be a total of about 500 banana. Usually less though,
When we lived closer to the East Coast line and about 100 kms further south, the growing season was less, 3/4 - 1 year.
Hi Rita..when you get a moment from modding.xx
How do you maintain your decking and how do you maintain the artificial grass?
I scrub my decking manually....some use pressure washers...I have thought about investing in one....I look at it this way, I’ve got the time, so why not scrub by hand.
I know these mod cons make our life much easier, it can also make us lazier imo.x

I would love to see a picture of yours with bananas on the plants, pretty please,xx
I don’t think any UK gardens can grow the bananas, we don’t have the temperatures here in the UK...as far as I know.

What a stunning beautiful haven, I would be out there all day every day!....
The ambiance of the evening picture...” Perfect” xxx
That pic I sent already shows some immature bananas. Let me send you some close-ups then...
Wow!!....look at all of those bananas....fantastic!!....thank you for sharing,xxx
I couldn’t see them at first, they are well camouflaged aren’t they?
That banana plant would take up all of my garden,hehehe,xxx
Yep, although not seen any around the plants in over 10 years. I've heard of the black widow types living around them....I do still watch it especially when I cut a bunch off or hack down a dead, expended plant with my machete.
Good point though.
I remember when our backyard was being overran by flying rats, or squirrels. They would marauder around the plants and because fresh food was more scare especially at the beginning of Winter they would climb up to the heart of the plant and chisel away with their sharp teeth and chew on them. And most of the time they never ate it. I would find the pieces lying around in disgust. This would not necessarily kill the plant. It would delay new growth by months however.
Here is another pic of my raised flower bed that I showed in post #3. This pic is 3 weeks later. They have really taken off.
