The green and rolling countryside of Worcestershire, England, is home to the cider apple orchards which surround the gardens of Pear Tree Cottage. They enjoy a sunny south westerly aspect with sweeping views across to Martley Hillside, Woodbury and Abberley clock tower. The Teme Valley lies just over the hill and, not far away, is the Herefordshire border. Although our climate is temperate, our seasons are often uncertain and always a challenge to a gardener! This began in 2010 & follows the weekly ups and downs of garden work chronicling both successes and failures but, above all, demonstrates the fun enjoyed by three people who regularly garden in all weathers

The best thing about gardening................

Sutton's Early Onward


There are plenty of flowers on the runner beans and peas are cropping really well this year despite an almost total lack of rain at PTC.  Such crops provide the perfect opportunity to make use of my new 'No 6 Trug!' which was a present from one's ever loving husband. He so enjoys the contents - no prizes for guessing motivation!



 Beefsteak & Black Russian Tomatoes 





The Genever tomatoes are also coming into their own now and the those are the last of the first row of Autumn Kings - which interestingly was planted out as seedlings (hence the quirky shapes!).
