For the first time ever, thrushes are visiting our garden and feeding on snails and slugs. Lots of shattered snail remnants all over the place. I've only ever seen thrushes in big parks before so this is quite exciting for our scruffy wee backyard

Teasel grows like crazy in our back garden, though it requires a lot of propping up with bamboo canes. I love how little pools of water form among the leaves when it rains.

Got a baby rowan tree last year, that is producing abundant flowers this year. Bees if multiple species are loving it - saddlebags filled to bursting with pollen! ๐๐๐

Aerial view of the back garden, trying to make it as green and varied as possible, with a good number of native species and scruffy corners where "weeds" are left to do their thing.

This magnolia never flowered while kept in a pot, but it has started doing so since I put it in the ground in a raised bed. Looks like a bumper crop of blooms this year ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ

Here it is, my annual reminder: don't spray spring dandelions with roundup. One flower can be visited by 100+ bees in a day, and your chemicals will kill all of them. ๐ป

Renovation works continuing in Buoy Park. Heavy machinery has excavated around all the trees, leaving them standing on the islands of their own root systems.

Strikingly marked, and sized, spider huddled in corner of our front door. Think it's a female missing sector orb weaver? It's mild out atm but due to get cold again so relocated it to our garage to give it a chance of surviving.

This painting by William Ratcliffe depicts a quintessential scene of a Swedish cottage in winter. Inspired by his great friend, and Camden Town Group founder, Harold Gilmanโs visit to Sweden in 1912, Ratcliffe began his own exploration of Scandinavia the following year.

Did u know? Warm winter weather caused by global warming has resulted in huge amounts of rain in the UK. Small souls like ants, worms & beetles will drown in waterlogged soil. To help excess rain drain away quicker avoid compacting the soil by walking on borders, or even your lawn right now. ๐ฟ๐ฑ๐ฌ๐ง๐ฑ๐๐ชฒ๐ชฑ

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream. Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads. Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

'Footpath through a park.' (1920) Santiago Rusiรฑol almost completely concentrated on painting Spain's gardens and landscapes. Wherever he went, he recorded the domestic, at other times enigmatic, forms and rich vegetation of the shrubbery, orchards, and arboretums he discovered.
