In Grower Gatherer I’ve shared nutrition information for each crop from official nutrition databases and peer reviewed scientific research - here are some edible perennials I foraged from our garden the other morning 🍏🌰🥬 www.jackwallington.com/product/grow...

Narrow-leaved ragwort, Senecio inaequidens, spotted this morning in Leeds - very cool. An introduced plant from Africa.

I’ve seen huge old Ivy before but I don’t remember seeing it this old, with extraordinary craggly bark

Seeing as some of my seedlings had begun to float I decided it was OK to remove the trays now

My partner has set up a bat and bird detector and it's picking up a whole load of species that are around here, but some I haven't seen by eye specifically here. I'm wondering how we validate this? Many are appearing every day with high confidence.

In 2021 I released some local orchid seeds into the wind over our meadow. I didn’t think anything had come of it until summer this year when the moment came - everyone will know what that moment was like. Common spotted orchid, Dactylorhiza fuchsii.

There’s the three. Summer in August right before the meadow cut on a Calderdale little farm. As always nothing went completely to plan but I’m happy with these. The meadow is cut now.

"Mediterranean plants can't survive winter wet" a lot of people have said this to me recently worried about drought tolerant plants in a warmer future. To give hope and reassurance, some plants can't survive winter wet without extra drainage, but absolutely loads can! More soon 💞

Almost ready for the cut, new watercolour painting I did of the view from our top meadow. I love this view but find it the hardest to paint. Anyway I’m quite happy with this one.

I love sharing progress of unfinished areas because it can be so exciting! It takes some imagination as to how it will look but I’m delighted a number of wildflowers have established. Planted into dense grass and nettles. I’ve cut back around them a little with shears if they were too swamped

I was really excited to spot cinnabar moth caterpillars on groundsel growing around our asparagus. I also moved a handful to a patch of ragwort where they’ve settled in happily.

There were three hummingbird hawkmoths on our valerian just now! One flew off but here are two

Heatwave meadow first attempt. Gonna try the grass in a simplified way later in the week. But good to have broken my weeks of no painting.

Deadheading astrantia to encourage more flowers. It started off neat like this, then suddenly there were ten times as many chucked onto the grass path that I will just mow and collect.

On a long train journey so I’m obviously making the most of my time recording moths. Look at the markings on this beautiful shoulder-striped wainscot, Leucania comma

A joyous sight this morning as these mushrooms emerged overnight from a recently repotted cutting. Probably pleated inkcaps, Parasola auricoma. People panic about mushrooms in compost but it’s normal and a good thing! It shows the compost is alive and decomposing naturally. They soon dry and vanish.

Finally finished this painting I started in May capturing the emergent canopy and woodland understory. It’s been sitting on my desk - hopefully now my head is free for something new.

Slowly catching up from being a bit behind on the allotment this year. Runner beans, lettuce, potatoes and courgettes behind. Also sorting out the annual salad bed behind which has been overrun with chamomile. I’m gradually adding a perimeter grass path to help keep the encroaching wilderness at bay

I’m really excited about my new article in The Simple Things magazine about growing plants to feed and support birds in your garden naturally - the team have done a wonderful job making the pages look beautiful 💞 In the Amble issue for July. As mindful to write for the mag as to read! 🌱

5min sketches of King’s Cross for my sketchbook. Too limited range of coloured chalk- no red or black. Studios of Dan Pearson, Nigel Dunnett, Tom Stuart-Smith and the London Wildlife Trust. I wish I’d brought my watercolours to do a proper job. And damn I wish Nigel Dunnett were still with us. 🌳 🌱

Ox-eye daisy basal shoots demonstrating how it is so good at establishing once its roots are down, something that many wildflowers excel at.
