Alliums! #bloomscrolling

Night time temperatures on the up so finished planting up the veg tunnel. Winter squash, loofahs, sweet peppers and tomatoes. #growyourown

The first strawberries of the season. Grown in a polytunnel to extend the season. #growyourown

Trying some micro, mini and dwarf tomato varieties this year. In theory should get to 30cm, 40cm and 60cm respectively. No idea what size of pot to use so trying different sizes. #growyourown

Happy Beltane! Flowering cactus more in tune with the celtic calendar than others. #BloomScrolling

We have these on the farm and are doing our best to manage the grasslands. The local volunteers are a real help with the gorse clearance. Donate if you can to help those who are helping us and other land managers. Thanks!

Finally got this little tub chair and footstool finished. Not enough of the colourful fabric left so had to finish with a plain fabric. Now to find it a home.

Made some changes to the bench in the propagating tunnel. Now has a waterproof membrane and capillary matting. Should make watering more efficient. #NationalGardeningDay as well as #growyourown

Violas and pansies doing their thing. #bloomscrolling

Apricot fruits developing nicely. May thin to keep good circulation around the fruits. #growyourown

Put some old bulbs into pots to see what would happen. Hyacinths doing quite well. #bloomscrolling

100metres of hedging complete! Fingers crossed it grows now.

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.
