Anne Louise’s Patreon is a wonderful place. Her long stories really shine there, her recipes are delicious, and (if I say so myself, as one of its members) her community of subscribers is a delight. If the tales of #OldFox and his friends speak to you, there might be no better retreat, right now. 🦊

Take care, and enjoy the weekend.

One of my favourite trees in my garden is covered with clouds of cherry blossom and filled with the gentle humming of bees gathering nectar. A fleeting and beautiful sight in early spring before the breeze carries the blossom away. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend. 🌸

Brilliant area for birds as well 😊

It's been dry with a cold wind today, and tonight may see a frost. Better, sunnier and warmer, next week.

It certainly is, and the compensation won't make up for the effort and time spent planting them.

Now there's a surprise πŸ™„ trade mag Hort Week has found 40% of councils won't recycle #plastic plant pots - despite new govt regs that they must from 31 March. Recycling isn't the answer as plastic downcycles, so ends up in landfill anyway. The only solution is gardening without plastic #gardening 🌱

Thanks. It's my fault as I don't deadhead most of the flowers I grow so they often self-seed like this.
