When we went to the vet two weeks ago, Maple was diagnosed with CPV, otherwise known as Canine Papillomavirus.
Papillomas are generally benign growths that are most common in puppies and dogs with immature or suppressed immune systems, and in time, they usually resolve on their own.

Hello 🌱 feed, could I get your advice on pears please? I have a tree in my garden which produces lots of fruit, but I've never successfully got them to ripen. Any tips? I don't know what type it is because it was here when I moved in

I only meant to mark out the edges of this path today, but I got a bit carried away 👀 To the left and right, big new flowerbeds are going to go in 🌱

Are there any other UK-based gardeners on the 🌱 feed? Please say hello! For the photo tax - I tend to plant bulbs and forget about them until they flower, which means I've been surprised by bursts of these triplet lilies all over the garden!

Yesterday's strawberry harvest - I feel like I'm still very much learning how to take care of strawberries (the first year they all died!), but I'm getting better at it. Still need to move the plants further apart in the autumn though 🌱
