I’m amazed how productive that hedge is – it’s a living buffet for the birds!

  Yes it’s impressive isn’t it? I almost crashed the car when I saw it and then had to stop and get out and take photos! ☺

Pretty certain I didn't plant this Spring Green tulip in the garden with the Ballerina, Queen of Night and Purple Prince combination, but I'm glad it's here. What a beautiful flower!

Fascinating morning @cubotanicgarden exploring Jane Austen's use of the Regency Landscape in her novels. Garden highlights included the fritillaries, mauve Felicia amelloides and the rosemary trial beds in the sunshine.

Spring bedding is feeling hot, hot, hot...

Ash flowers in the April sunshine 🌞

The most radiant of my tulips - dreamy, creamy Purissima.

Beautiful wing markings on this bee fly on the buddleja.

Behind me the kids are playing on the zipwire and in front, in a wedge of woodland, I can smell fox and see a goldcrest, indistinct in the ivy, but its jizz gives it away. Then the tenative notes of the chiffchaff - my first of the year. It's only a nod to spring; my fingers are still cold and stiff, the sky remains murky. But change is in the air and the chiffchaff is louder now.

Uncomfortable honesty? Shall we?Well I think we have to be because if you walk into any garden centre, the amount of plastic there is to buy, with gardening things within i […]

March in the garden April 3, 2018
March 2018 – what the heck was that? Just as we were beginning to enjoy the first signs of spring, the Beast from the East brought snow and cold weather from Siberia. Twice. Thankfully for us, rumours of its return at the end of the month proved to be groundless, though our friends in the north were less fortunate. We just got very wet instead.

Mark’s Veg Plot

First sowings at Courtmoor April 21, 2018
Until this week, all the seed-sowing I have done has been at my own house / garden. Now I have finally got some seeds in at the Courtmoor Avenue plot. I have sowed a row each of Beetroot "Boltardy" and Parsnip "Thrupp", the latter a gift from a friend who is a member of the Stroud Community Seed Group. The cultivated part of the plot is g […]
