RIP Jane Goodall. Here she is with another incredible conservationist and humanitarian, David Attenborough. Times like this make you wish the world had a few more Janes and Davids.

What could be more enjoyable than a day at Kew Gardens with your best friend who's in town from Los Angeles for a few days. Much chatter and a feast for the eyes. Glorious ❤️

Fabulous artichoke flowers on a neighbour's allotment. Such vibrant colour! And the bees obviously love them! 😁 Definitely adding a few to our space for next year!

Completed Stage 3 of the wooden pallet compost bins by staining them with a non-toxic water-based green colour to maintain the rustic feel of the allotment plot I'm developing. Lined 2 of the bins with proplex for a semi-hotbin effect. Next step: creating lids. #AllotmentLife #GardenSky ˚˖𓍢✨໋🍃✧˚.💚⋆

Lavender running up the side of my allotment plot. I cut back in the spring and it's now flourishing and bringing in the bees and repelling mozzies and flies. 🐝🐝 🪻🪻

Bay 1 is open for business! 🧑🏼🌾 This bay for making well-rotted manure only. I christened it today with horse manure, wood shavings, straw, grass clippings and nettle tops. #allotmentlife #greenheart 💚

When I first took on this allotment it was covered in junk and neglected. We cleared it and set about developing the soil to be 100% organic. Several stages of live green manure (still ongoing), irrigation, and sourcing seeds, roots etc from organic growers. #allotmentlife #organicgardening 💚

A visitor to the allotment yesterday evening. Clearly the plots are one giant smorgasbord for this big floppy eared bunny rabbit. It scarpered with something green in its mouth before I had a chance to say hello. 🐇💚 #GreenHeart #AllotmentLife

Stage 2 front covers salvaged from used decking. Tomorrow I'll group the slats I to 3 and add a handle for easy slide up.

I'm building a 3-bay compost bin made from used pallets. 1 - manure, 1 - current active waste material, 1 - compost ready to use. Next up is the front panels. So far so good. First attempt at a major woodwork project. #allotmentlife 🪚⚒️👨🏼🌾

Stage 3 of clearing our new #allotment plot. Junk gone, war with nettle roots almost over. Time for some TLC on the soil. 🌿
