Sam @samssslearning.bsky.social · 18hSpent the whole day taming my big monster of a fig tree. It was also choked by next door’s jasmine. More cuttings taken & all prunings shredded. I’m shattered, will sleep well tonight! 🌱 1261

Sam @samssslearning.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Bird’s eye view from above of the bay tree. Several birds nest over different levels, like noisy neighbours in an apartment complex. 🌱 0181

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. 🤞🏻😊🌱 1272

Sam @samssslearning.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I've grown them before in bottles that aren't sealed. They've been ok as long as there's lots of grit & kept very dry. 100
Sam @samssslearning.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Planted up this old bottle with some cacti & other succulents. The cacti were grown from seed so I hope they will like their new home. 🌱 3261

Sam @samssslearning.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I think it flowered again in summer because of the extended hot/ dry weather & now because there’s been regular rain / cool weather. I had a few plants that have been the same. 020

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 · 25/09/2026Remembering my lovely mum on what would have been her birthday. I love this picture of her. 2100
