After a hard days gardening in the beautiful sunshine, it’s time to enjoy your surroundings 🌿🌷🧡💜☀️Cheers everyone 🥂🪴 #enjoyyourgarden #chilltime #mygarden

I think our gardens are full of memories 🌷

Thanks 🌷🌷🌷

Cheers 🌷🌷🌷

Guess what? More tulips 💛🌷💛🌷
This time good value species tulips that come back reliably every year. Goodness knows how old these are as they were in the garden when we arrived 💛💛 #SundayYellow #tulips #bloomscrolling

The Queen is always the last to arrive at the tulip party 👑 🖤
‘Queen of the night’ is the first tulip I ever grew together with‘Ballerina’.
She also appears in my favourite opera.
These have been in the border a few years & although smaller they’re still a show 🌷🖤🌷🖤🌷🖤

And the tulips go on & on & on 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
I think this is my best tulip year since 2020. Having different varieties certainly extends the season #SixOnSaturday #tulips #tulip #bloomscrolling

There’s been so many occasions when it’s absolutely pouring down, but the suns out 💦☀️💦 Result.. lots of rainbows 🌈
So not all bad! #weather #BritishWeather #LetsTalkAboutTheWeather 😄

What a shame. I’ll have to look out for that as I’ve never grown them before.

My new favourite tulip ❤️🤍❤️🤍 Although it does change daily, I love them all really 🌷🌷🌷🌷#tulips #tulip #bloomscrolling

I sowed these Hollyhocks late last year & they grew like mad in the greenhouse, even producing a flower in mid-winter! Anyway they are shooting for the sky now they’re in the border & providing food for my little friends 🌿🌸🐝💕

The tulips are lasting well. Some early varieties have been & gone but it’s proving to be a good year for them 🌷🌷🌷

I was so busy yesterday, I forgot #magentamonday which these would have been at home with 💕💕💕💕💕

It’s amazing how many insects there are that we know nothing about 🦟🐝

Spot the intruder down in the white garden?
😁🌿🤍🤍🤍🤍🩷🤍🤍🌿
There’s always some colour trying to muscle its way in!
The naughty fritillary has now been moved to the hosta bed where it’s supposed to be 🤣 #sevenonsunday #whiteflowers #whitegarden

The tulips really are the first explosion of colour in the garden. They pay you back for getting cold outside in November whilst planting them 🌿🌷🧡💜💕💛🌷 #sixonsaturday #tulips #bloomscrolling

This ichneumonid wasp, name Ichneumon stramentor - something to get your tongue around! - was under a bag of compost in the greenhouse. I love all the diversity of life in my garden 🦟🐝

White flowers were my first love & still draw me 🌿🤍🌿🤍🌿

Yey, 🤗 I finally managed to capture the Small Blue - Cupido minimus 🦋 💙
What a flippy, flappy, energetic little butterfly it is! We have them in the garden every year, but they always allude my lens. Not yesterday🦋🦋🦋 #InsectThursday #butterflies

Pump up the volume for busy, buzzy, bee 🐝
I planted this hellebore with pulmonaria around it in a large pot, enjoyed it on the patio last spring, popped it out of sight once it faded & hey presto another spring of enjoyment for me & the bees 🌿🌸🐝💜🐝🌿 #InsectThursday

All this sunshine has brought out the cherry blossom 🤍🌸🤍
All I can say in anticipation is, yum 😋🍒
#cherryblossom #blossom #homegrown

The third of my miniature species Tulips came out in yesterday’s sunshine ☀️
She’s called 'Little Princess' & like the pink & white ones, she too comes back every year and multiplies 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
#tulips she bloomed on #tuliptuesday #bloomscrolling

I just left them in the pot Debbie. Couldn’t be easier 🌷

Tulip 'Slawa' is a new one for me this year. I do love the bi-coloured blooms 🌿🧡🌷🩷🌿
Apparently we’re in for the warmest day of the year today 🌞
#TulipTuesday

Tulip ‘Little beauty’ are back for a second year 🌿💕🌷
And the super thing about them, is they’re a species variety so will come back every year, multiplying too 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

Happy Easter Sunday everyone! 🐣
Wishing you all a lovely day, now the suns out & storm Dave has passed by. 🌿💛
#EasterSunday2026 #SundayYellow

It turns out Dave did have bad wind & somehow blew the brassica cage up in the air & into the greenhouse! Luckily the greenhouse is fine 😬 but the flowers in grans dolly tub took a bashing. I hope nothing worse happened to anyone. #stormDave #mygarden

Thanks, it tastes good to.

Happy Easter Saturday to you all 🐣
The tulips are out in force now, let’s hope Dave’s wind isn’t as bad as predicted! #StormDave #SixOnSaturday #tulips
