Cleaning out the iron prominent caterpillars who are looking increasingly like miniature dragons...

Today my 7-year-old was chosen to be on the school newspaper team. On her first day she has instigated an 'eco-page' that she will be writing with another student. It is possible I might be feeling a little bit proud! 🤗

Enjoyed talking about the place of our gardens in the wider landscape this evening. Ending with a quote from Benedict Macdonald's book 'Rebirding' about Ecological Tidiness Disorder and its impact on wildlife in the UK.

The strawflowers are intriguing - such a variety of colour and form, and looking like they've dried on the stem.

Day 262: PLANT September 19, 2019
The frothy pink and white flowers on this foamflower (Tiarella ‘Sugar and Spice’) are very much the icing on the cake for a plant which has it all – at least if you have areas of light shade…

Does pinching-out chilli plants really help? September 17, 2019
Some people pinch out (remove) the growing tips of chilli plants, which allegedly makes them bushier and perhaps more vigorous.
