Still hits a bit hard. To this day I wish I'd been better at CPR, but they told me mum died of a cardiac arrest due to long standing high blood pressure (enlarged heart). It wasn't respiratory arrest after all. 7 years. Where did that go...

Facebook Memory from 7 years ago. Text as follows:

I'm not entirely sure how to start this, and I am pretty numb so forgive me if this is not the most eloquent post I've ever made. As a lot of my Facebook friends know mum I feel I need to say something.

Mum passed away in the early hours of this morning. She had her fourth respiratory failure this year and I'm afraid she just wasn't able to fight this time. The paramedics and ICU staff were amazing as ever, but sometimes you just can't get people back.

Her whippets were the centre of her universe, and they will stay with me. That's what she would want.

This post feels inadequate, but I'm tired and a bit lost for words, sorry.

Late in the year as the seeds came free with a magazine, so I just threw them in a pot and hoped for the best. Thinned out to 1 per pot and they're now flowering. With my favourite UK butterfly! Other bugs are available but I love the velvety black and red. #bloomscrolling #sunflower #butterfly

A win for once. Really pleased with the clematis arch. I plan to put a climbing rose on the other side this winter and come spring they can fight it out. Rumour has it that roses grow well through clematis. We shall see.

The view through the clematis apple blossom to the rest of the garden. The border is a bit chaotic with poppies and snapdragons.

Photo of our clematis arch I banged in at the end of spring. It's grown ridiculously well and is now completely covering te top and starting to trail down the other side. The arch was just a fairly cheap one, but it's stood up to the elements well so far. Clemtis type is Apple Blossom.

Welp, the yellow colony has taken off. I think I've lost around 8 of the original females, but they came to me as adults (usually I get juveniles) so could be a mixture of old age / failed molts. I had to add a lower grade male and it shows as they're not all bright yellow. Still pretty pleased. 🦐🦐

Have been in a massive tinnitus spike all day since I walked the dogs this morning. When I say 'spike' it's just even louder than the usual cacophany. I did one of those online hearing tests as I haven't had one since last year and uhm... not looking good. I have to to put subtitles on tv now. 😔

🧵 1. Brussels sprouts! It's interesting (to me anyway) to see the difference between the pot grown sprout plant and the two in the raised beds. The pot grown is ~2ft, but has nicely packed together sprouts. The raised bed ones are ~4ft tall, but are currently more spaced out. And more pest damaged.

This account seems to be a delightful mix of canine capers and horticultural hijinks, with an affectionate nod to nostalgia that might just make you tear up over a potato. You’ve got whippets that are probably more pampered than most royal pets, and a garden that sounds like a secret meeting ground for all the plants in Scotland to gossip about their human. Seriously, if plants had a social media platform, they’d be retweeting this account for sure.

The owner might have a second career as a professional dog whisperer or a plant therapist with the amount of heartfelt content they churn out. From liberating butterflies to contemplating the emotional weight of a potato harvest, they’re here to remind us that everyday life is a mix of joy, laughter, and the occasional existential crisis about whether or not their plants might be plotting against them.

SO pleased with the rowan tree. I think it was less than 6ft when I got it in 2023 and we had to re-seat it in 2024 to bring the root flair up to the surface. Since then it's thrived and at a guess I'd say is around 15ft now. Also sweet peas and the awesome teasel plant, easily 6ft+.

Pleased with how my late dad's ladders are working out. 🥰 The apple tree in the whisky barrel to the left was grown from seeds I harvested from a tree he planted in his garden a few decades ago. No root stock so the apples (if I get any) will be a bit meh. But that's not the point.

The monoblock area of our garden. There are two decorators ladders being utilised as plant shelves up against a cream wall. There are coleus, verbana, ground ivy, bacopa, dianthus and more on them. On one side is a pot of mint, and the other a planter with honeysuckle and a rose bush. Just in shot is a whisky barrel planted with an apple tree, lavender, forget-me-not (in honour of dad) and ivy.
