I just used some old compost from a pot outside to get my overwintering onions started and realized too late that it had ants in. Does anyone else worry and feel guilty that they won't find their way back to their colony when you move them by mistake 🥺🌱

Did u know? *Tidy* is not what nature needs in wildlife friendly outside spaces.*Tidy*means no food/homes for little lives. Seed heads are often chopped off - far too*messy*/too *brown*, but each one offers food for birds/winter shelter for small souls. Marvel at the magnificence of *messy*. 🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🪲🐦‍⬛

I plant crocus and early daffs just for bees waking up on a sunny february day and the thought that I was harming them instead was so upsetting and enraging when I found out!

The dyers camomile still has a few flowers. It's been flowering constantly all summer bringing masses of insects into the veggie garden. Definitely one of the stars of this year #yellowthursday 🌱

If you like gardeningWell, you’ll love FreeTrees.

Because who doesn’t want free native Irish trees?

Zack holds a bundle of native Irish trees as he prepares them for free distribution to people in the local area. Zack is only one of hundreds of volunteers who organize 3 to 3 distribution for freetrees.ie.

My dad gave me this Acer well over 20 years ago and it makes me think of him every time I walk by it. Just one more precious thing about gardening #RedWednesday 🌱

I’m opening my diary for Christmas commissions in case anyone is interested? Something special for someone special? A piece of original art just for you. This one, now sold is of a wrench gazing at some cherry blossoms against a 23 carat gold leaf background on acid free linen bound board.
