Potting prickly little Opuntia pottsii 🌵

I get all the glamorous jobs, pressure washing & cleaning out the drains.

Just a small job of potting up this Cryptomeria japonica 'Elegans' @rhswisley #Wisley @airpotsystem #ukgardening

Nerine flowers. Under the right conditions = angle & lighting you can see the flowers Iridescence, best displayed against a black background lit from above.

An ever changing palette of autumn colour paints the landscape that is @rhswisley

The gardens ablaze with autumn colour. @rhswisley #Autumn

When a tree dies its all too easy to just grub it out or remove it completely, here @rhswisley the arborists have cleared around the roots giving a visual indication of what's underground. #wisley

Bulb planting, visit @rhswisley in spring 2026 to see a mass of colour. #wisley #bulbs #ukgardening

Glasshouse 4 Slowly filling up with plants for overwintering, less hectic than previous years, so far. But who knows what I'll end up with in here.

Perks of the job 😋

Glasshouse 4 pressure washed & ready for plants returning from the garden for overwintering.

Sweet Pepper trial now finished.
Trials team cleared them out yesterday,
I'm now in the process of cleaning the glasshouse in preparation for plants returning from the garden for overwintering.

Rostrinucula dependens caught my eye this morning whilst watering.

Gomesa radicans, a beautiful miniature orchid.
Saw one at work, so bought one online for the terrarium. Look forward to the day it flowers.

Bonzai show at rhs wisley this weekend.

Don't judge me.
I've walked across two islands, up & down steep treacherous hills. That's my excuse & I'm sticking to it 😋

Monochrome

Tresco Abbey Gardens & Island walks.

A few snaps from St Martin's on the Isles of Scilly.

Not many flowers, I don't think the Park has enough people to dead head them.

Not in Devon or Cornwall, so no argument to be had. Do it which ever way you like. 😋

If anyone wants me, I'll be right here.

Back on the Isles of Scilly for a few days. 3rd time in a year, Starting to feel more like home.

Thanks Linda.

Sweet Peppers still cropping well, with a possible 18 AGM's 🏆 on the cards. The trials team have been brix testing today, recording the sugar content.
