The hardcover of ‘Things We Found In The Ground’ by Eleanor Bruce & Lucilla Gray.

Sunday reading. My excellent metal detecting chums Eleanor Bruce and Lucilla Gray have just published their first book ‘Things We Found In The Ground’ a joyful account of their friendship and unearthing history, one discovery at a time. Highly recommend.

Lady Elder The Witch and the Chihuahua published a post on Ko-fi

This week's blog is brought to you with earplugs because the Witch can't shut Ragnar's operatic antics up...yet. Join her for tea, poetry, tree folklore, and other nonsense.

I sow direct but not until late April or early May depending on the weather.

It's been sunny here, and I went to the plot early to water all round.

Hello. Thanks, and for you too.

Hello. Oh dear, not again. Thanks, and you too.

A cluster of rhododendron flowers with a paler pink center and darker pink, almost raspberry outer petal. It really highlights the flower shape. The leaves below the flower are variegated cream and dark green

Good morning!
How are you holding up?
What are you up to today?

We're entering mid-rhodie-season here, so a whole new bunch of rhodies are opening.
This is a rather lovely variegated rhodie. The same shrub has a non-variegated sport.

Hello. I'm okay thanks. It's been a sunny day here so I spent the morning on the plot.

Lovely flowers.
Enjoy your day.

A couple more pieces from my shop for those who missed this little thread last night ☺️

Thank you to everyone who has shared, visited the shop (tamzincavendish.co.uk), and said some lovely things, it is always hugely appreciated!

Lovely. Thanks, and you too.

I prefer the traditional cup shape and solid colours (red, white and yellow).

Hello, it's the same here so I spent a couple of hours plotting this morning. Happy gardening.

Hello. Lovely tulips. Enjoy your day.

Both allotments starting to take shape for the growing season ahead now.

It's sunny here so I'll be off to the plot this morning.

Good morning. The lads wish you a lovely Saturday, and are just waiting for the human to serve breakfast. Take care and have a peaceful day. 🧡

Hello. Thanks, for you too and likewise.

That looks and sounds delicious. Enjoy.

Community garden full of wildflowers in Cambridge, UK

How many people out there are giving wildflowers a chance by leaving areas of their gardens uncut this year? Please repost if you are offering a lifeline to pollinators like bees, butterflies, moths, hoverflies and bats by mowing less!

Good to read Dr Jo’s glowing review of the Go Jauntly app this afternoon -

but who said what about who walking?! Intrigued now… 🥾🥾🥾

Hello. Enjoy your day.

Two blue Borage flowers with five petals and red-tinged sepals covered in fur. The background is green vegetation of some kind but very blurred.

It seems there's a warmer, dryer spell on the way, even for Scotland 🌞
A perfect time to sow some annual flower seeds for the Bees and Butterflies 🐝🦋
This is big, beautiful, blue Borage.
After a visit from a Bee, it can refill its nectar supply ready for the next one within a few minutes 💚😊

Hello, it looks like being a sunnyish day here so I'll be discoing to the plot after lunch. Have a good day.
