First post on here after deleting twitter and threads. I tried this place a while back but it seemed clunky and overly American. Gonna try and get this tweaked to show me better stuff. #newbie

VerBEEna doing its job.

I love gardening and will follow anyone but I will unfollow if I see artificial grass. Awful awful stuff. Yuck.

Job of the morning today, grading out some of these lovely Vinca. This particular one is the variety “illumination“. Find them in your local garden centre soon.

Always a good time of year when the shops start selling daffodils. Not long before they’ll be out proper in the wild. Can’t wait.

Something very satisfying about a well raked bed.

Today I’m cleaning up and top-dressing some Nandina domestica “Obsessed” ready to be put away for the winter.

Only another 200 to go…

Absolutely stunning in East Hampshire today. The sky looked like it had been drawn with pastels as I drove in this morning. The fog is still hanging around, but is being burnt off by the winter sun slowly.

These Senecio Candicans “Angel Wings” are still looking lovely!

This morning’s job is picking over them taking off any dead/dying/slug-nibbled leaves and generally making sure they’re at their best for our garden centre clients.

Good God, why would #Ring think this is a good idea?

Pop quiz, does anybody use these stupid canned responses?

Well, the nursery survived #StormBert - few plants knocked over and a slight rip in a polytunnel but given how a lot of the country faired, I’d say we got off lightly!

Today I am mostly doing this. A LOT.

Defoliating and putting some shrubs to bed for winter. In this case Weigla “All Summer Peach”

My fingers are cold.
