Yesterday was the first time I'd ever got to use a digi camera and I was really thrilled to bits at the picture quality. It also amazed me how quickly scenes can be transferred onto the screen; great for keeping track of what's happening in the garden.

The boat is looking good with its minature daffs and the Sweet Williams that I raised from seed last year seem really established. I've no idea what colours they will be but I'm looking forward to finding out.



The poor Cordyline is looking a bit wind-burned in this pic, despite its being tied for protection, so I'm hoping that it will recover once its unfurled when the threat of frosts has passed.



This is my secret den; the little potting shed that Himself built last year. Even if plants go elsewhere, into the garden or the greenhouse, they all start in here!







Here come some visitors . . . when they're free-ranging, the birds get everywhere!



Well, as a first-time experiment, I was really pleased with the pics and it's great sharing them with other gardeners here on G.S. Thanks!

Great shots Sharon, you have quite a set-up there. I love that you include pics of the chickens as well they are so beautiful! That boat is a wonderful idea, I wish I had thought of that instead of sinking our old john boat, it would have been much nicer to put it in the garden. Keep them coming!

There's no stopping you now with the digital camera Sharon. We now EXPECT to see more photos of your gardening exploits and of course the hens (it could be hard to avoid this as they seem to show up everywhere). Enjoy!

Go, Sharon, go! Well done so far, I'm looking forward to lots more from you now. Your boat is lovely, and I adore your hens.

Aren't digital camera's fun?
It looks like you have a great head start in your little greenhouse Sharon. I love those mini Daff's.

Love the boat and I'll keep my fingers crossed for your cordyline.

Those hens must have known that if they turn up all over they are bound to be caught on camera - maybe they love posing for the camera. hehhehhe - they do look magnificent.
I really love the boat garden feature.

I don't know what I like best . . . the boat flowerbed . . . the secret potting shed, or your free ranging chickens . . . What a grand and unique place you have!
