Plantaholic gardener who enjoys a gym workout. I like justice, fairness, kindness, courtesy & equality. I post photos of my garden pretty much daily plus the odd workout photo. Looking to connect with other gardeners and gym enthusiasts.
I decided to move my pots of small bulbs/corns into my little Growhouse since overnight frosts are forecast for several consecutive nights. I never used to do this but lost quite a few about 3 yrs ago due to prolonged frosts. #gardening #gardeninglife

Good day everyone. This morning I had to scrape ice off my car windscreen before heading to the gym but it was worth it and time spent in the steam room and sauna afterwards was therapeutic. I hope your week got pff to a good start. #gymmotivation #GymLife #FitnessJourney

Good morning everyone and happy Sunday. It’s a cool and dry one here thankfully. In a while we’ll be heading out for Sunday lunch to a garden centre. Whatever you’re up to, enjoy! #SevenOnSunday #gardening #gardeninglife #gardenersworld

Good afternoon everyone . It’s a dull but relatively dry day after yesterday’s deluge. However, the local river (close to us but with a flood barrier) has a flood alert currently. My pics show my #SixOnSaturday #gardening #gardeninglife

A moment of contemplation at the gym this morning before some dumbbell lateral raises. #gym #lateralraises #flexfriday it’s very wet out there (UK) & I had to avoid some floods on the roads. We’re hunkering down at home. Stay safe folks.

Luckily, this afternoon’s dry weather enabled me to pot up my newly bought Ilex balls and plant out my final bulb purchases. #gardening #gardeninglife #gardenersworld

Good afternoon everyone. It’s been a very wet day so far. We cancelled a meet up with my sister at Trentham Gardens but I did venture out to a local garden centre and managed to choose three very early birthday presents from Mrs H. : Two Ilex balls and a small bust. #gardening #gardeninglife

As I told you all recently I’ve finished planting my bulbs. Well that was until I saw some reduced by 50% today. Just couldn’t resist. #gardening #gardeninglife #bulbs #halfprice

Good morning everyone. I’ve just returned from my Monday morning #workout at the gym & I always crave a coffee so I’m going to enjoy that reclined in the lounge. Aud’s out meeting a friend for coffee then later we’ll pop out to a country pub for lunch. I hope your day goes well.

Hi everyone. I’m pleased to report that my bulb planting (literally hundreds & hundreds including more half price ones bought today) are now finally planted. I’m now enjoying what I feel is a well deserved coffee before moving some unused terracotta pots into the shed. #gardening #gardeninglife

Good morning everyone. It’s a bright and fine one here currently. Pics show my Fatsia Spiders Web and a white buddleia flowering in the White border today. I hope Wednesday is kind to you. #gardening #gardeninglife

Good morning everyone. It’s a dull one here with periodic rain. I hope the day brings you some joy. #gardening #gardeninglife Pic shows a white azalea in the White border showing off a fiery autumnal finale.

Good morning everyone. I’ve returned from the gym after a great #workout & am now out on my garden inspection. I’m consistently 8lbs lighter than I was earlier in the year so I’m pleased about that as well as the fact that the squirrels are leaving my bulbs alone. 🤞🐿️ #gardening #gardeninglife

I spent the afternoon planting more bulbs, own sown biennials and three recent end of season half price bargains. #gardening #gardeninglife Enjoy your evening folks.

Good afternoon everyone and happy Friday. (I won’t say Halloween as I’m not a fan) Yesterday when I had filled up the bird feeders I was surprised to see that I was also feeding the mouse population. #gardening #gardeninglife #micelife
