As I make spaghetti bolognaise 4 tonight,munching on my exceptionally sweet tasty homegrown carrots I ponder on those who don’t know what good carrots taste like. Like good wine all tasty veg need to mature over time. Few bits of carrot and Molly 🐕 decides to eat her dinner 🧡😍

My cornflowers doing what cornflowers do magnificently 💙

It’s a very old nail 😊

I feel that 😊👍

Had an unexpected and hugely valuable 6mm of rain last night. Nice little haul this morning. Reasons to be cheerful 💚🌱😊. Can you spot the non veg/fruit item harvested?

Somewhere in here are 18 raspberry plants I planted this year 🤪 sometimes you got to let nature do its thing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌱

Black thankfully, still gave a nasty little nip on the back of the neck

Well they do and tbh I’ve not been bitten many times

Really happy with this photo of an orange-tip butterfly on a bluebell in our garden. One for the computer screen background. Had to lie down on the grass to get the best shot and got bitten by ants as a result 😆

😊👍

Setup one of my wildlife cameras by my new pond today. Crow enjoying a dip and a bath. I think I need to setup some deck chairs, umbrella and a little bar 😆 I must admit a real sense of joy seeing this 😊

Crazy dry for the time of year

Same 😊

My pitch pages for ITMB are done.. I think this is some of the best art I’ve done :) the colours are meh in places but I’m sure I’ll go over them all again by the end.

This reminds me of you @zoethorogood.bsky.social and you did it x

Finished sowing my #wildflowers in the new levelled area on the farm this afternoon. I reckon there’s nearly 250m2 of new wildflowers here. Having to water as so dry 🤞🌱🌸🌺🌻🌼🐝🐝🐝🦋🦋🦋😍

Bees enjoying the native flowers in my vegetable garden. This one is on speedwell 💙 I am seeing more solitary bees than I was expecting 😊 This settled sunny weather must be favourable for our buzzy friends 🤞

Good morning 👋 Love this time of the year, blossom is looking so good in all this historic March/April sunshine. Seeing a few butterflies and more bees than I thought I’d see 😊 Beautiful peacock butterfly on this cherry blossom 😍 #nature

My pheasant friend likes peanuts, he’s getting quite tame. I often worry about getting too close to wild animals as tragedy often follows and I find it quite upsetting 🤞😍

😳😔

Scarlet Elf Cup 🤔 got rather excited by this new fungus in our wood on my mornings walk ❤️ looks like it was someone’s breakfast

How is that possible 😉😆

104 spud babies in their cots waiting to turn into mummy’s 🌱😊💚 #gardening

Digging a new 3m x 5m pond in the cold, battling monstrous stinging nettle roots and buried chicken wire entangled in said roots we will be victorious😆🐸🐸🐸🐸😍

Always 😊

“Did anyone ever tell you it’s rude to stare” in response “Has anyone ever told you it’s rude to take a picture of me without my permission” 😆👍 Farms male Kestrel perched on my garden shed roof 😍

I believe the willow warbler which is almost identical to the chiffchaff has a much nicer song

Very excited and surprised to see this ridiculously cute chiffchaff recently on the farm. Believe it or not it was exceedingly busy pecking off aphids from stringing nettles in the depths of winter😳😍
