Wandering around RHS Wisley today the kniphofia ( Red Hot Pokers) were some of the stand out plants adding dashes of colour after the hot and dry summer. 🌱 #Gardening #BloomScrolling

Yummy I finally get to eat the lovely beef tomatoes that I have been growing in my garden. They have taken ages to ripen but I shall feast for the next couple of weeks. 🌱 #gardening #GrowYourOwn

Loneliness hits neurodivergent people hard and mainstream apps often miss the mark. Holly Fowler built Wable to connect dates, friends, and jobs with safety and support baked in. Would you try a platform built for unmasking? #AXSChat

Pottering around the garden this morning was a pleasure before getting stuck into work. I love the look of the fruits on my strawberry trees. The taste is sweet but the texture is grainy like an overripe pear. 🌱 #gardening

Three fruit of an Arbutus (Strawberry Tree) two of the round knobbly fruit at the front of the bunch are a strong red colour and the one behind is changing colour from yellow to red.

I woke up this morning to the sunrise rising over misty fields whilst it’s not quite autumn there are hints from the end of summer. No doubt within a few days and another heat wave will come along but for now it is cooler. #gardening #sunrise 🌱

It’s a sign of how extreme the weather has been in the UK this summer. We are at the beginning of August and the leaves on the Robinia tree in my front garden have turned autumnal yellow overnight. 🌱 #Gardening #Heatwave

One underdiscussed concern: accessibility. Keyboard-only users, people using eye-trackers, those with non-standard input methods — their interaction patterns will look nothing like typical mouse and keyboard behavior. Behavioral analysis can't tell intent from disability.
