I thought I'd share some early summer cheer as we head into winter— a video of my wisteria walkway in full bloom taken a couple of years ago. 🌱 #gardening

Bulbs all transplanted into their new garden spots. So cold I can’t feel my fingers so a hot brew beckons 🌱

Morning all. A beautiful sunny day here in West Yorkshire. Cold but ideal for getting out in the garden. Whilst these Tete a Tete bulbs are still blooming, the hyacinths have gone over so I’ll be transplanting them in the garden. Have a super day everyone 😊🌱

Morning all. My feathered friend is back from another visit to the nest box. I’m taking this as a positive sign…

Harvested the last of the pink celery today. I was a bit worried due to the recent icy temps & snow but it’s fared well. #GardensHour 🌱

It’s a very wet day here today so it’s a cooking morning. Veg base for the minestrone soup on the hob & a lentil/ veg shepherds pie, with mustard, turnip, sweet & ord potatoes now in the oven. I’ll be donning my waterproofs for this afternoon’s walk. Have a super day all 😊

So cold Ted & I have sought refuge in the greenhouse, potting up some dwarf tulips. A hot brew is needed, if only to thaw my fingers! 🌱

Morning all. A cold frosty start to the day but the sun is out which will hopefully warm things up a bit. Perfect weather for the jobs I’ve to do in the garden. Have a super day everyone 😊 🌱
