I’ve been plotting…

every day so far this week and would have been mostly clearing the flower patches. However the cosmos and pot marigolds are still flowering profusely and there also plenty of buds visible as well.…

The Chancellor says she 'fixed' a problem caused by “some snails or something”.

Comments like this pit nature against growth – it’s the wrong target.

Here, the system has worked: protecting one of UK’s rarest species while allowing 20,000 homes to proceed.

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk · 16h

Thanks to London’s bold action, almost 10 million people are now breathing cleaner air.

That means fewer children will grow up with stunted lungs and fewer people will have to suffer from asthma, dementia and heart disease.

London hits clean air milestone 184 years early - ULEZ makes 'big difference'

A professor has branded the success a 'truly remarkable turnaround for the city's air quality'

I love Aphids 💚
These are Absinthe Aphids that I had on a Wormwood plant at a previous home.
I thought they were amazing, (and so did the Ladybirds and Blue Tits 😊)

A pale green stem, with some deeply cut leaves attached, of a Wormwood plant.
On the stem are lots of little Absinthe Aphids. They're a pale grey colour but with black blotches and spots and a spike on their bums.

Did u know?This tiny soul is one of the most significant animals on earth - it's an aphid. It's vilified by us because it sucks sap from plants, but it's a friend, not an enemy. Its large numbers feed entire generations of birds, frogs, ladybirds & other small souls - don't spray, celebrate. 🌱🌿🇬🇧🌱🪲🌍

Butterflies are often associated with the mythical Tylwyth Teg, the Welsh fairy folk. Legend tells of an enchanted island with beautiful flowers and butterflies belonging to the Tylwyth Teg, which humans could visit but were not to disturb.
Art my own.

Exciting goings-on in our garden!

2 weeks ago one Grass #Snake in the first clip had opaque blue eyes, indicating he/she was about to shed his/her skin.

Wind forward a couple of weeks... and the 2nd clip shows that newly shed skin, which I found in the same spot yesterday afternoon! #wildlife

Beautiful 😍
Let's hope it's spread its seeds far and wide 👍

I agree, it's a method that makes for surprises and they're not always ideal.
We've spent all summer having to step over some Virginia Stock that were growing in the crack in front of our front door, (and scowling at the delivery drivers putting boxes down on top of them 😂

😂
I thought this one had finished as it got battered in various storms but it's having another go 😊

Jemima's Garden - Flower Seeds for Wildlife @jemimasgarden.bsky.social · 1d

A big self-seeded Borage popped up this year 💙
It's far better than any I grew myself, it's grown huge and is still flowering now 💙
I'm getting more and more convinced that direct sowing and just scattering seeds about is the way to go 😂
What would nature do?
#MHHSBD

A Borage plant with several blue star-like flowers with black centres.
The plant is growing against a fence.

We always knew that Labour cares about little else other than keeping private developers happy.

But here's proof showing off to JP Morgan despite destruction of some of the "rarest creatures in our country."

Let's make that description Labour votes.
