HELLO BINE! Odie had a bit of the rubbish morning at the vet, but we've been working on him not woofing at my neighbour, and Odie's started bringing him a Kong as a gift!

I'm very pleased with my potato harvest (plus a few of the leeks) 🌱

I adopted Odie! My previous dog died a month ago, and I miss her so much, but it's lovely to have a pup around the house again

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!

Two different yellow roses from my garden, plus a bonus dahlia! 🌱

I love the cosmos and the sweet peas together, especially at night 🌱

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 🌱

It's a bit dreich today, but the last of the foxgloves are flowering so it still feels like summer 🌱

With a good month to go before they're ready, this year's apples are already looking so much better than last year's! 🌱
