From the 1600’s, members of the Worshipful Company of Gardeners “supplied the City’s (London) inhabitants with a seasonal supply of food & flowers & removed human & animal excrement.” I think we should campaign to bring this back! 😂🤣👍🏼

This will not be exciting to the vast majority of you … however, I’m thrilled to have acquired this 66 draw (+ shelves), ex army airbase cabinet for the new workshop. To have space to organise, sort & generally create order from chaos is a joy. Have a good day folks 😀👍🏼

Quick shout out to @britgardhistory & @PrueSarn12 for some great reading recommendations. I’ll be using my enforced rest to catch up (& maybe review) some of my gardening books. 😀👍🏼 I’m loving the reading window in the workshop.

A wonderful, post-operative morning to you all. Every year we’re honoured to be owners of the apple tree hosting this family of great tits. There’s an “in & out” (& location) shot for you. It’s an über calming & serene place to be early in the morning. Have a solid w/e folks 👍🏼

2 …the people truly caring, individuals working under a lot of pressure made me feel like an individual. I was in at 7.30am & home by 14.30. I felt I had to share this. I now have the unenviable task of doing no physical gardening for 5weeks! 😮 Have a good w/e (& I’m fine)👍🏼

1. I almost never post anything that strays too far away from the garden & nature context but this is an unashamed shout out to the @NHSuk. I know there are major, major challenges and today I had minor surgery under general anaesthetic. The care was faultless..

Good morning folks … A 45sec walk from newly repaired stream at the #bottomofthegarden, past cardoon & camassia, bluebell & tulip, poppy & pond, to a view of the blooming apple! (many more flowers but not enough space to list 😂). Have a great day 👍🏼

🎼Oh Camelia, it was not a false alarm… It’s been a challenging 10 days health wise but I’m emerging from the depths to face some exciting garden projects. The screen garden will get some love & attention over the next week or so. … then the pond, the greenhouse, & on & on 😀👍🏼

Good morning folks, The bluebell/camassia combo at the #bottomofthegarden is working really well. The rose chafer & ladybird have chosen their favourites! I’m really excited at the development of this space. The brick path is a wonderful backdrop to the planting. Enjoy your day👍🏼

Some early morning shots from @Dinefwr_Castle last w/e. There’s something mystical about a stroll through a damp, ancient woodland that allows you to connect with times gone by … … & there’s a timeless majesty surrounding a fallen tree. Have a good day folks 😀👍🏼

Time for a medicinal whiskey. A drop of Irish methinks … but what to go for? Blue Spot or Gold Spot? 😂🤣 Have a good evening folks 👍🏼

Good morning folks. It’s good to be back in the garden after a short break. A view from the back door into the top garden … primarily a mature, shrub/small tree plot. I love it at this time of year. We planted the acer palmatum atropurpureum over 30yrs ago. What a giver! 😀👍🏼

Good Monday morning … I have for you, some early morning deer & running water. Not a bad way to start the day! Despite both of us having cold/flu, it’s been a relaxing couple of days. Can’t wait to get back to the garden though! Have a productive day folks 😀👍🏼

No, I’m not cheating with my #sevenonsunday These we’re all taken today @walesbotanic The weather was “challenging” but I was really impressed with this National garden. Great design & so much to see. For those with young families, & plantaholics like me, a quality day out. 😀👍🏻

A fairly early morning traipse up to Dinefwr castle. My head & body shrouded in cold/flu, matching the portentous, heavy cloud cover over the magnificent landscape. The view from the base of one of the towers took on a lunar quality. A great place to visit. 😀👍🏻 @nationaltrust

Took advantage of a break in the weather & strolled down the garden. There’s an abundance of new growth & bloom. The stroll culminated in 3secs of newt! Have a solid day folks 😀👍🏼

I’m not apologising to those who are offended by neologisms … I’d like to wish everyone a “fritillatastic” morning! 😂🤣👍🏼
