I have an extinct volcano that is also a National Park at the bottom of my garden. There are also three donkeys in a field, an aloe vera plantation and lots of tomato hot houses

How about you?

Six twenty foot Leylandi and three ex lovers buried at the end of mine. ;)

Some horses, squirrels, owls and a golf course.... I'm sure I saw some fairies somewhere in the undergrowth.  :o

Some green plants that look a bit like ferns, they say when you smoke them you can have all the above.

There are just another couple of rows of houses behind a high fence (we value our privacy), so not much for us to look at, I'm afraid. But on our side of the fence there are fruiting banana plants, passion-fruit and Cayenne peppers and yet-to-fruit papaya and African cherry (whatever that is) - so nice things to eat. Volcanoes (I don't think they're the same ones as yours, Spike) are to left and right and if we climb onto the bungalow roof we can see over the houses to where the golf course failed to materialise and on to a national park of dunes, the tops of a couple of hotels and a sweet little island off to the left in an azure sea. That's Lobos, of course. :) It would be nice to have a lovely view, but you can't have everything.

All the goats must have been arrested. :)

Roses, Garden swing, pergola, various climbing plants,  herbaceous plants, runner beans, pea (pods) broad beans, more roses, and over the fence the wonderful countryside.

Oh and a Garden hut!

Manjushri Kadampa meditation centre. Oh lucky me. It was better when it was a convalescent home for miners. Festival on at the moment, and that means the local co-op can`t keep up so no bread, fruit etc.

We don't need photos - the images of everyone's garden are just perfect

Are the bodies marked FiFi?

We're too posh for goats by the way. We've a chicken farm next door. The chickens produce lovely big brown eggs - boiled or poached mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Spike On Q

We have one shed - and am about to build a second shed to store the beer and wine.

Our neighbour has:- Chickens, Ducks, Turkeys, Guinea fowl, & Geese who roam freely around the garden, the laneway and anywhere else they dam well please  including my onion patch :D
Fresh eggs of all sizes, shapes and colours,  free to us, of course  ;).

Ooh, I'm so envious! I had lovely vegetable patches when I lived in places where the water fell out of the sky for free. I can't afford the time or the money here. If it can't live on nothing but sunshine and the water I save from cooking veg etc, then it won't live in my garden. :'( You're welcome to the grass, though. My husband was really glad to see the back of the lawn. 8)

So much grass front and back, I need a ride on lawnmower fitted with a mulcher, as I have no use for the cut grass.

Lucky you Can the Man!  :D We are here & have Apples at the moment (including a Bramley with 3 small apples, which we smuggled in!) Lots of other plants & we got rid of the Damn Fairies by putting a compost heap at the bottom of our garden! Like Sheila our view is nothing to write home about so we covered up with lots of beautiful plants including Palms a Peach tree & Bananas. Well done Spike, love the way John Cleese deals with Arthur 2 sheds! 8)

Quaint thread - shame only a few of us have a "Bottom Of Our Gardens" to boast about

Just room for a modest little greenhouse at the bottom of my garden, the spectacular mountain scenery is all to the front.
Talking of the greenhouse, this year my tomatoes have ripened over 2 months earlier than last year!

My tomatoes were outdoors on patio and got frizzled in the sun  :'(
