Trevor and Elspeth's garden from Greerton - Tauranga

Elspeth just took these photos last week, on a sunny afternoon. Thank you for sharing your garden with us.

The border of the side of the path – yellow and red wallflowers, blue borage, purples and pinks.
Speaks for itself – out little veggie plot with the hydroponic unit built by Trev in the background.

My attempt at keeping the cat, dog and the birds off newly planted wildflower seeds and seedlings – branches from our ribbonwood trees and chicken wire, and have now planted loads of chives around the border!
The pathway up to the chicken run with our little pond on the right.

Raspberries that have taken off and are running rampant after giving them a bag full of horse poo and sawdust from the local racecourse when they died down last season. Looking forward to loads of fruit here this season! The side of the shed that has just been painted ... the cactus looks so visible in front of it and Trevor had the great idea of hanging the picture on the wall - adds to the ambience! We are just looking for some inspiration for something to grow around the window frame. Actually there are six pots with tomatoes there just now, very warm side of the shed so we should get lots of fruit.
