I thought I'd share some early summer cheer as we head into winter— a video of my wisteria walkway in full bloom taken a couple of years ago. 🌱 #gardening
Just had this notification. Definitely visiting regularly. I noticed there’s also lots of pecking going on at the wood surrounding the entrance, not sure if that’s normal? After all it can get in & out easily.

In other news, I’ve finally got a little patch of crocus blooms that Tufty & the other squirrels haven’t eaten. It’s a small win but I’m taking it 🌱

One of the hedgehogs living in the garden. This pic was actually taken at night, it set off the garage light. If you see any check they’re healthy. In UK they’re vulnerable to extinction & on the red list. They need connected green spaces so make a little space in your fencing. 🌱 #GardensHour

For tonight’s theme I have to include all the robins. They are just a delight. This is Mavis, one of the many nesting. 🌱 #GardensHour

As my garden ecosystem develops, I’m seeing a much broader variety of butterflies. It’s taken careful planting choices, plenty of access to water & shelters. #GardensHour 🌱

Moths are amazing & a super part of the garden’s ecosystem. They are very effective pollinators & are also a food source for birds, bats & hedgehogs. #GardensHour 🌱

Morning all. My little friend is back in the bird box. I’m not sure whether it’s thinking about nesting or just enjoys sheltering from the rain! Still, it’s a nice start to the week. Happy Monday everyone 😊

Thankfully we were able to get out in the garden today. I was focused on rose pruning whilst Ted worked on restoring his muddy status. Super to be outside & see all the new shoots springing into growth. 🌱

Can a dog look any more miserable 😭 a bath, ears cleaned & teeth brushed. But to be fair he was completely covered in mud after today’s walk in the rain.

Morning all. Very wet & cold day today so unlikely that I’ll get out into the garden. Although the grey weather is dreary, the clematis which has crept away from the arbor into the cherry tree brings a cheery sign of promise. Have a super day everyone 😊 🌱

Morning all. Started a new painting last night & so am sporting blue stained hands today. The joy of working in oils! Still work to do on it but pleased with the start.

I love this little row of daffodils. By the end of the month there will be a splash of yellow & cream to brighten the entrance to the greenhouse. 🌱

These gorgeous Annabelle hydrangeas have provided gorgeous structure & safe havens for ladybirds 🐞 over winter. I will prune them back at the end of the month. 🌱
