Companion planting


I have bought a new camera and will upload more photos over the coming weeks... This is a Nikon D300 SLR with a Nikkor 18 - 200 mm lens, a good all-round lens. This is an exciting camera and is an adventure embarking upon learning how to utilise the camera to bring out its maximum potential.

On the left is one of the first photos I took with this, in JPG format and shows the density of the companion garden; in the foreground are the leaves of the Olive tree, in the centre is a sunflower, variety Little Dorrit because it is a dwarf variety. To the left of the sunflower you can see a cluster of tomatoes, probably Ailsa Craig variety, To the right the flowers for the Fennel and if you pear through the dense vegetation then the flowers of Ring of Fire sunflower are apparent. More will follow over time.
