Ladies gathered for pregnancy scanning and blood samples. #Coosday

Had a bit of a disaster with the tall yucca. It decided to fall over last night, luckily stopped by the balustrade. Now need to decide what to do with it. #houseplants Picture doesn't really show how tall the yucca is.

Made a start on the hedge planting.

Looks like next job will be hedge planting! Good mix of natives. Will hopefully connect two bits of woodland when established.

Timperley Early living up to its name! Crumble season will soon be here!

Using the rubbish weather to finish some indoor projects. This was a top down knit. Advantages are being able to adjust lengths to what you want. Downside, all the fun to start and the more boring stuff to end. Knitted in our own Fliskmillan Fibres DK lambswool.

On a wet, grey day Amaryllis Samba doing what it does

Hoorah! New tomato seeds have arrived. Never used NRtomatoseeds.com before but lots of interesting varieties. Had to exercise restraint! The growing season gets ever closer.

Moth orchid. One of the easier houseplants that rewards with lots of flowers. #Nationalhouseplantweek #bloomscrolling

Flaming Katy (Kalanchoe blossfeldiana) coming into flower. This one tends towards pink flowers. #nationalhouseplantweek #bloomscrolling

Amaryllis bulbs moved from winter storage back into the warm and light. Removed all the old leaves and watered well. New growth appearing already.

Echeveria flowering. #nationalhouseplantweek

Since it is #nationalhouseplantweek have a picture of some Snake plants. In need of repotting but otherwise doing fine.

Seedlings restore to propagating tunnel now the temperature has risen. On a sand bed with soil warming cable (just in case) with a large cloche covering the whole thing.

Brought the seedlings in from the propagating tunnel. Just too cold to leave them out. Need to get the hot bed up and running to get them out to a frost free cloche.

In flower today Primula Cottage Cream. #bloomscrolling
