I’m a bit obsessed with the garden, and probably will be until October.
The obsession with knowing every inch of it, what’s planted, what’s to come, what needs a helping hand, the surprises that pop up! (The beautiful red poppy appeared overnight! 🤩🙏). Got 3 resident frogs, and a solitary newt in the pond, and they all seem very happy. Gutted to have missed the fearsome-looking dragonfly larva I’ve had my eye for the last two years transform and fly away…saw the empty shell clinging to a reed in the pond yesterday! I had looked literally everyday in the hope of seeing it emerge and I missed the bu**er! Still - I love that the pond has become such a haven for wildlife in such a short time.
Veggies and produce are coming along nicely too. And haven’t brought a bag of salad for over a month now…and home grown is way tastier believe me and we’re eating more than ever. The veg bed itself and actually loads of you on here I follow are teaching me so much about growing our own food. It’s incredibly liberating and rewarding.
The rose climbing frame I made is now completely full of bees who have nested in the hollow section of the frame. It’s amazing how nature just crowbars its way into every corner if you let it 😜🙌🙏🤩
Enjoy this beautiful Bank Hokiday Weekend 😉🙏😘
