Glenys' Garden update from South Downs House

Since my first post , things have moved on in the Potager, all the vegetables are doing well but they would welcome some rain. You will notice that most of the beds are enclosed which sadly is due to the fact that we are persecuted by various cats using any open soil as their toilets, this coupled with what I think we have is the National Collection of Sparrows who view any soft leaf vegetables as their all day diner which means protection is needed.  Hey ho the the joys of gardening.

New Fen Globe Onions




Carrots, beetroot and spinach


Salads. Green and Red Salad Bowl with Wild Rocket


Meleanthus Major


Geranium Blue Cloud with Rose Desdamona


Ferns with Thalictrum


Geranium Brookside


Oxeye Daisies with Vipers Buglos



In the greenhouse the first trusses are set on some of the Tomato  plants and the first signs of fruit are appearing on the Peppers.

If anyone would like to visit the garden I would be happy to arrange an appointment for  Individuals or two people. A small donation to the Amberley School Nature Space would be much appreciated.


Wishing everyone a safe return to the new normal.

Dear Glenys - your melianthus major is as amazing as ever and the vegetable look incredibly healthy despite the best efforts of cats and birds. I am sure you will get some take off of your kind offer and that members will love the view from the new summer house. Best wishes

Thank you Glenys, everything looks so organised and well cared for. I hope you might give me a few tips for growing vegetables, I certainly need them.
