Collage of garden photos, showing a statue of a horses head in the garden, with hellebore, crocus and daffodils
In this week's #SixOnSaturday from our Somerset garden, the spring bulbs are beginning to bloom, with crocus, snowdop, daffodil and anemone coming up.
The new #WoodForTheTrees on coppicing is fascinating, and my blog has a surprisingly high number of overseas visits. #GardenBlog
Plus a rainbow.

Collage of butterflies and moths spotted in our garden, including red ones, yellow ones, some that are brown and yellow, and one resembling peacock feathers.
Anyone for butterfly spotting?

The fabulous world of Lepidoptera and moth professors @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social inspired me to collect some photos of moths and butterflies spotted in our garden, and a list of moth profs.

Our Somerset garden doesn't benefit from much sunshine in the winter, but we do get to see views across the valley.
This week's #SixOnSaturday #GardenBlog has a veg bed, sage and monstera cuttings, apple tree pruning, neat edges and hedges and the joys of doing the compost.

Robins, tits and blackbirds are singing and scrapping over food and territory. It sounds pretty to me but it's a battle for them. Six things that caught my eye in our shady back garden this mid January in Somerset.

Collage of garden photos - frosty views of a garden in Somerset, UK, including a metal cat sat in a planter of cyclamen, a frosty window, hellebore, witch hazel and primrose flowers
Frosty patterns on the greenhouse window, with ice crystals making beautiful fern like shapes, and a blurred view of the dark garden, and the sunlit valley
After a winterval blogging hiatus here's #SixOnSaturday with beautiful frost ferns, hellebore and witch hazel, plus a hopeful poem and links to some wonderful oddities. wp.me/p7ZPGx-3Wi

We bought a couple of wooden carvings at Wells market a few years ago. We named them Gog and Magog after the legendary giants who have appeared at the London Lord Mayor’s show since the time of Henry VIII. In our garden, they guard the greenhouse and the tool shed. 🙂 The carved wooden faces are weathered and wizardy looking, with long beards, bushy eyebrows, and furrowed brows.
Two pictures of wooden carved faces on a small greenhouse and garden shed, in an English garden in autumn. Gog and Magog are legendary figures that appear in different traditions as either one giant or a pair of giants. In the Bible and Quran, Gog and Magog are associated with a final, apocalyptic conflict. In British folklore, they are giant guardians of the City of London. In our garden, Magog looks after the lawnmower and garden tools and Gog protects the plants in the greenhouse.
The Lord Mayor's show, with two giant wicker figures called Gog and Magog. The show has taken place for centuries, as part of a ceremonial to assert the powers and privileges of the City of London. According to folklore, the giants Gog and Magog guard the city.
Legendary giants Gog and Magog are apocalyptic figures in the Bible, representing doom. But in British folklore they're jolly giants guarding the City of London.
They're also tiny wooden carvings that guard our tool shed and greenhouse.

Collage of autumnal garden photos, with a purple and lilac pansy, a calendula flower, sage plants, autumn leaves, and white 'starburst' like flowers of fatsia japonica
This week’s selection for #SixonSaturday is all autumnal.
Rishi Sumac is about to shed his last leaf. The pansies are tougher than they look.
The garden is dying back, but there are still some burst of brightness and very optimistic looking seedlings
