🌱Good Morning Gardeners🌱 Just love ‘Hemisphere’ #tulips which open marvellously to the sun!☘️👌☘️

I can't resist sharing some more of my tulips - it's hardly surprising that Europe was swept by a maniacal desire for bulbs in the 17th Century - with the wealthy 🌱paying thousands of pounds for individual bulbs!

🪶Good Morning Birdies🦉For today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme #inMotion here’s an Italian pigeon cleverly dodging feet on my recent visit to San Gimignano! ☘️😅☘️

Sunlight is non-negotiable. Most vegetables need 6 hours of direct sun per day. No sun? Grow leafy greens — spinach and lettuce thrive in partial shade.🌱 🇭🇲 #SelfGarden #GardeningTips #IndoorGarden #GrowYourOwn
