Had to look twice at the clock this morning, as so dark.
So, whilst counting down to the 21st (shortest day) let’s look back at the flowers of summer #flowersonfriday #lupins #flowers #bloom #bloomscrolling #summergarden

What’s hanging in your airing-cupboard? 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

A huge magnificent tree in a churchyard, with the winter sun shing through the branches. In Cheshire. www.walnutkitchengarden.co.uk

I prefer trees when they’ve lost their leaves, you can see their magnificent structure 🪾I also love churchyards, goes back to a childhood spent in three that were close to family houses 🪦 #thicktrunktuesday #trees

The gardeners mate & I made the most of a dry, sunny day yesterday to blitz the weeds 🌱☀️
The one raised bed had become so overwhelming with annual weeds, so it’s had the cardboard treatment, just need some compost to go on top now. Feeling on top of things😊#gardening #weeding #growyourown #homegrown

I’m sure that’s what happened & I knew that really, but they looked so good there. You know what it’s like. Yes I will try again somewhere more suitable 🌿

Funny how we all smell things differently

Enjoy the scent 💛

I grew these Eremurus - fox tail lilies, in a bed with grasses. Unfortunately they stopped coming up.
I’m just debating whether to buy some more for a new bed next year, they’re rather spectacular 🌿💛💛🌿 #SundayYellow #yellowflowers #bloomscrolling #eremurus
