Any advice #GardensHour on resurrecting last year's Amaryllis? First time I've kept one after flowering. Should I feed it, bring it inside?

Prepping for winter now, and started with some cutting back this weekend. Council stops garden bin collections mid November, which always seems ridiculously early, so need to fill it up while I can! #GardensHour

Been doing a lot of watering in the heatwave, but also picking soft fruit. First batches of white currants picked and frozen this weekend, plus loads of gooseberries. #GardensHour

The result of No Mow May (and June) - red and white clover, self heal, orange hawkweed, buttercup, hogweed, bladder campion, and forget-me-not. And those are just what I can easily identify! #GardensHour #NoMowMay

#GardensHour June is one of my favourite months when everything is looking its best in the garden. Now we've had some rain, I'm expecting everything to really start taking off!

Before and after for #GardensHour - although not really after as it's still work in progress! This year's project to extend one of my beds.

It's the time of year when window sill space is at a premium! The greenhouse is quite full as well. #GardensHour

I started digging out my border extension at the weekend. Quite pleased with this, it just needs filling up now, which requires some digging of the compost heap. #GardensHour

Nothing doing in the garden this week, it's been under a blanket of snow and ice all week! Hoping everything wrapped up in the greenhouse has survived. #GardensHour

CAT ADVISORY: Temperatures in the UK could drop to -10c tonight. All cats should IMMEDIATELY find the warmest spot in the house and stay there. Tell humans to bring you snacks and to keep the second warmest spot free in case you want a change of scenery.
