Looks like the garden birds are coming back from their summer holidays. I've seen the blackbird this morning, and now the robin. I've missed you guys 🤗

I've had a very productive day in the garden but I have to say im heartily disappointed in my main potatoes. Looked more like 1st earlies when I tipped out the container earlier.

There is a certain group on FB defending hedgerows and curious people (like myself) ask why do hedgerows get cut so low and honestly the hostility and agitated responses are wild! I didn't realise hedgerows were so controversial. #nature

I just think that risking your life at a moment's notice to save people you've never met in exchange for no money is a better expression of patriotism than dressing up like a Poundshop paramilitary and intimidating families with kids trying to get onto a ferry.

I mean, if you think paying for votes is a good look you really shouldn't be in democratic politics.

On a more positive note though...I saw my first ever hummingbird moth, last night in the garden. It was magnificent!

Well, it wasn't the caterpillars I had to worry about on the brassicas. In the end they have been completely massacred by flea beetle. As have the backup seedlings I had. It's a tough growing year.

Ugh, one of "those" running days. Set off only to discover 20mins in that I hadn't pressed start on Strava. Couldn't get my head into it then so stopped and walked home. So annoying. I'm not sure that I'm really enjoying running anymore ☹️

A rather nice evening walk. Had a moment with a beautiful hare. I stood stock still and it came up close until it decided to turn tail and bounce into the nearby hedge.

Removed the netting over the brassicas bed, cleaned out the dead leaves, picked off the caterpillars (not many thanks goodness), gave the whole bed a solid soaking and netting back on. Very satisfied. #gardening #gyo

Its funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a Utopia of peace, unity and happiness. But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology.

Im going to take the hosepipe ban and turn it into a positive. Now is the time to stop and look at what is growing in the garden. What's best to keep and what I need to let go. Probably all the trees I've grown from seed that take up disproportionate watering for a start.

There must be at least 50 swifts dancing all over the sky above my head. They sound like their having a wonderful time after the heat of the day.

Well, the brassicas tent didn't hold up to the wind. Three times I've put it back together and butterflies are still getting in. I give up. What do you use? #gardening #allotment

Blimey, it's a bit blowy out there today. Not sure the brassicas netting is going to stand up to these gusts of wind.

I'm looking for the book Silent Spring by Rachel Carson, but the version with the intro by Linda Lear. It appears the only place I can get is Ama£on but I don't want to give them my money. Anyone know of any indies that would stock it? ##bibliophile #books #request

Gave all the plants a good soaking early this morning but not sure that'll cut it in this heat. 🥵 Stay safe peeps.

Anyone growing gooseberries? The fruit this year seems really small and I don't know if it's lack of water (I grow mine in pots), or weather or something else?

What a beautiful morning. Time to prepare the garden for hot weather. The apple espalier has already got some kind of white fuzz on its stems so I'm sure today will not be kind to it.

Not only did we manage to get the harness on Dottie today, but also her lead...outside and she was very calm about it. Alas, we opened the gate to walk & she just sat and wouldn't move. But this is the closest we've ever got to going walkies so im still very proud of her. #dog #pets #Romanianrescue

I am so pleased to see so many solitary bees in the garden this year. I counted 7 just amongst these foxgloves this afternoon. Wildlife gardening works.
