Growing our own fruit & veg peat-free in a community allotment.Doing our bit for pollinators with bits of rewilding & enhancing biodiversity as much as we can.

Peat-Free Partnership is urging the government to ban peat sales. Yes PLEASE. After an initial flurry of interest, it’s dreadful to see peat slipping back to garden centres

My aconites are stunning and the Tree Bumblebees love them. Aconite’s alkaloids are highly toxic so how do bumblebees survive? Interesting info here! #GardensHour

@hill_marian So… I think I have found the designer of these displayed at a lovely event in Bristol on June 2 this year? I thought they were simply beautiful. Where did St Joseph’s come into this because there are some slightly different variants.

Look @Rhizowen!
I am delighted how many slow worms are living under the dustbin lid in our tiny city centre garden! I have heard that the name for a group of slow worms is a gloss… so look at our glossy huddle! So pleased that there are enough invertebrates to keep them fed and thriving.

@hill_marian I have never seen so many slow worms! I’ve no idea what the size of our population is on the allotment, but we never see so many together. Congratulations.

It’s gone brown. Even The Solent is brown. Nothing shrieks out that summer’s over more than a walk on Pennington sea wall with its blizzard of brown seed heads of wild carrot, teasel, hemlock & ragwort @wildflower_hour @newforestranger Taken just as our 24+ hours of rain sets in
