Sam @samssslearning.bsky.social · 28/09/2026It’s good new re Wilson. Although there’s evidence of struggle, the specialist thinks it’s because of the weather. The tree is structurally sound & he’ll check it again next year. 🌱 2120
Sam @samssslearning.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Morning all. It’s a lovely sunny day here today & the beautiful nerines are blooming. The tree surgeon is due to visit this afternoon to give the verdict on Wilson. I’m trying to be cautiously optimistic. 🤞🏻😊🌱 1282

Sam @samssslearning.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Morning all. Sunny day today so an opportunity to get some garden tasks done. First on the list is to prepare the wildflower orchard for next year- clearing fallen fruit, scythe down the base & prune, all ready to sow more native seeds. But before that there’s time for a brew 🌱 0180

Sam @samssslearning.bsky.social · 21/09/2026One of the things I love about this time of year is how the garden slowly transforms & foliage becomes a focal point. #GardensHour 🌱 1291
Sam @samssslearning.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I could look at this dahlia for hours. It’s mesmerising 🌱 #GardensHour 1677174

Sam @samssslearning.bsky.social · 21/09/2026One of the big annual garden jobs done this week, trimming the huge bay tree. 🌱 #GardensHour 1202
Sam @samssslearning.bsky.social · 20/09/2026That’s it done for another year. Not perfect but best I could do solo (Ted busy with a bone so not much help). It was an opportunity for a snoop too. 3 birds nests, I’ll leave them in situ so they can be reused. Now I’ve some lavender to plant but a well earned brew first I think. 🌱 2210
Sam @samssslearning.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Today’s task- the annual trim of the big bay tree. Although a challenge, I do enjoy doing it. The smell is amazing & it means lots of leaves to dry for cooking. Only problem is that the bees & wasps are drawn to the scent of the cut leaves so it can be a bit tricky. 🌱 190
