June word = Roses The extra warmth has made the garden perfume smell sublime #GardensHour

I wish you could smell this jasmine. Luckily I pass it on the way to green house every day. Had to do some ' jigging' around at the beginning of the year when we installed a new pergola. All good now. #GardensHour

On #FathersDay a #Rose #GabrielOak. Wishing you all the best of days.

White, yellow, green and black. My beautiful waterlilly photographed this morning #GardensHour #MyGarden #BloomScrolling

Camouflage, Resting place in the heat of the day. #Nature #Wildlife #Insects #Summertime

Strong... #ThickTrunkTuesday

Cucumbers and tomatoes beginning to swell and show promise #GardensHour

Small pond with mostly newts and the usual hovering insects. The water lilly is a bit big for the space. Aiming for an extension later this year. #GardensHour

Its taken 3 years but our little wild area now has some flowers. They are so beautiful and I feel so 😊. Have no idea what they are, its enough that they are there. #WildFlowerHour #BloomScrolling #FlowerReport

Eye Eye ... #ThickTrunkTuesday

Roses looked splendid this morning. I'm afraid heavy rain today has spoilt the display 🙁 #GardensHour

Evening #GardensHour. May has been all about ferns and foxgloves.

Tree ferns,moss and a pathway to... #Cornwall #PlantReport #Moss #FlowerReport #Gardens

There's many variety of bamboo at Trebah gardens #Cornwall. I couldn't fit my hand around the biggest. Information board says it grows 8 inches a day. Fabulous to see it re-purposed in the bridge rails across the streams #Gardens #ValleyGardens

The Gunnera passage at Trebah gardens, #Cornwall, feels Jurassic with humidity off the scale

Few days away in #Cornwall, Budeck Vean. The valley gardens are amazing 👏 #Gardening #FlowerReport

How does Archie not get hay-fever or pollen-fever! #DogsOfBluesky #ButtercupPollen

Good evening #GardensHour. May means treading lightly in the little wildlife area and leaving the grass to do it's own thing. The planting is mostly white. I framed it with some low hedging earlier in the year. I'm thinking of extending the pond as its a bit snall...

Just when I thought Archie couldn't get more pollinated #DogsOfBluesky #Spaniels #ButtercupPollen

Chandelier tree #ThickTrunkTuesday

In a galaxy far away, a purple sensation came into view #GardensHour #Aliums #BloomScrolling

Lovely afternoon stroll through a buttercup field = buttercup pollen paws. Quite the fashion statement in spring 😅. #DogsOfBluesky #Spaniels #Wildflower

First rose of the year, DA Kew Gardens

Having a bit of a redesign in the garden and adding a new planting opportunities. Archies has taken a real liking to the area and put claim with a bounty of tennis balls he's found over the last month #DogsOfBluesky #Dogs #Spaniels

Contemplation... #ThickTrunkTuesday #Nature #Photography

Hedgy has been getting used to a new feeder in the garden #GardensHour 🌱

Ceanothus, the noisy plant as my family call it, in full bloom. #GardensHour

Twister #ThickTrunkTuesday

12 years ago I bought a twig from a garden centre. Slow to grow but look at her now, brings me so much joy #Gardens world

👋 #GardensHour compost sieving this weekend. Lots of sloworms basking in the sun. I love the rhythms of the gardening year.

Perfection, Oak tree, bluebells and blue skies.. #ThickTrunkTuesday #Spring #Trees #Nature

Lumps and bumps of a lifetime #ThickTrunkTuesday

Good evening all #GardensHour. Starting April with the new garden project. Bit of a jigsaw puzzle at the moment, but Archie believes he supporting things along

Reaching for the blue sky #ThickTrunkTuesday #Trees #Nature

Garden has been waiting for the light. Peony, lupin, hydrangea and tomato seeds all see it #GardensHour

Camel Estuary #Cornwall #Wildflower

A picture of #spring along the Camel Estuary last Monday #Wildflower

Leaning into the wind... #ThickTrunkTuesday #Trees

Good evening all at #GardensHour , tulips looking lovely and vintage as they 'tumble' in their container. Daffodil Thalia making her appearance in the longer grass. Last of the parsnips harvested for soup. All in all, a good week 🌱

It started with a photograph and ended with a beautiful watercolour. So 😊 #DogsOfBluesky #SpringerSpaniel #Archie #Photography #Painting

Plant one, grow one! #ThickTrunkTuesday #Trees #Nature 🌱

First grass cut of the year last Saturday, leaving the pond area to grow wild again. Surprising how it makes the whole garden look smarter #GardensHour 🌱

Having transferred to a plain plastic pot, I popped these behind the greenhouse after flowering last year. Forgot all about them untill a month ago so didn't hold out much hope. I've now sat them inside a nice pot ready to place on patio again #GardensHour 🌱

Thick trunk, thick branch #ThickTrunkTuesday #Nature #Photography

Good evening #GardensHour. My one word = Preparation. If you know, you know 🌱
