I believe in gardening. I believe in humanity and kindness - books, education, candles, dirt, salt, roots, music, animals and their rights. I am firmly against fascism and a government that is not for the people. 🚫 MAGA, 🚫 Trump.

I’ve been stewing apples in the slow cooker today. Apples picked near this tree last month. (The house smells amazing) 🌱🍎

This Japanese Maple was planted by the gardeners this spring. 🌱

Picture from Wednesday when we had sunshine.

A Japanese Maple leaf (which is smaller and more palmated / hand-shaped than other maples) that is glowing in a rich fall red thanks to sunlight shining through the leaf. Blurry leaves and a blurry brick wall in the background.

For #WildflowerHour:
Bright-eyed Green Alkanet, peeping out at me from the roadside verge today. Though often passed by, its flowers beckon, glinting like tiny sapphires — blooming well into autumn, and sometimes through winter too. A quiet companion at the edge of things, whispering resilience.
A close-up of a Green Alkanet flower (Pentaglottis sempervirens), its sapphire blue petals and white centre standing out against the soft greens of surrounding leaves. It grows at the edge of a pavement, catching the light like a wildflower jewel.

Such a pretty blossom shame it only lasts a couple of days. Looks like it’s going to be a fairly regular stream of buds coming through though 🌱
Palest of lemon blossom. Symmetrical with 3x burnt orange spots in the inner. Can’t recall what it is sorry
