Two allotments and my own garden. I manage the veg growing course on the allotment site for those new to growing their own food and am always asking for volunteers to help with the wildlife garden!
Oh - I have ants in my plants. And yes, they do kill the plant. I have tried everything - what do you do? The worst are in my polytunnel and I garden on sand. They luurve it in there. Here they are underneath my toms. #ants #polytunnel #growyourown #theykillmytomatoes

So many bees on the Trachystemon orientalis (I think that is what it is called). The whole plant buzzed as you walked by.

Clouds of spider webs in the longer grass this morning.

This is why I mulch my soil with compost over winter. Picture 1 home made compost, picture 2 nothing with the soil dried out and capped.

Oooh! I made a seed snail just because everyone else is on social media (FOMO!). It has peas in it and I might have made it a bit tall. 🌱🐌

On the allotment site we have a gardening book club. Our next read is Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah. Sometimes the gardening links are very tenuous!

I have been quite impressed with the Salanova lettuce 'Hawking'. Planted in the greenhouse in October and still sitting there now without bolting which the Rouge Grenoble did. I might try them again next winter.🌱🥬🥗

Over the years of living in Devon I have visited and watched Dartington Trust slowly change and move away from its quirkiness to a boring and corporate place that I no longer visit. They now want to throw a tenant off the land he has forested for the last 30+ years
