This pink border is where our hideous oil tank used to be before we got our heat pump. The dahlia is Fascination underplanted with Persecaria Red Rragon with Salvia Cerro Petosi and a pink cosmos in the background. 🇬🇧🌱

I have posted about this before but this amazing Salvia really knocks me out! When we open for the National Garden Scheme on the weekend of the 13th September it will be the star amongst the many salvias and dahlias on display-along with a thriving Kitchen Garden and some roses making a comeback.🇬🇧🌱

Opening again for the National Garden Scheme. We’re in Derbyshire. We raised £2231 for nursing charities when we opened in June and we are looking to match that in September. Share this post if you can. 🇬🇧🌱

Today was “tattie howking” day - or potato harvesting day for those who are not from a rural Scottish background. Excellent crop of pink fir apple potatoes. We were assisted by Betty who as I am sure you can imagine was a great help! 🇬🇧🌱 #internationaldogday

We bought this machine years ago and it has served us well. I’ve had to repair it a couple of times as I couldn’t find a like for like. The metal one is so robust.Passata every year which we use pasta dishes, paella and more.

Breakfast this morning topped with Figs, Plums, Mulberries, Blackberries, Raspberries, and Japanese Wineberries - all picked fresh from the garden. This delight will only last a few weeks - but it is THE best time!!
