I've got serious aeonium envy. #gardenersworld

Advantage means that it should be set against the background that suits it best. A grey wall or a white-washed wall or grey paving-stones all make a good background especially if you avoid the insipid old pale mauve and choose only the best strains of Aubretia. #gardening

Also, asking homeowners for permission would kill the burglary industry.

The unfurling... Today's #smalljoy was watching this peony unfurl. Bowl of Beauty, I think. Six weeks ago I found it buried under a mass of 3-cornered leeks, hybrid bluebells, a dead rose and so. much. bindweed. strangling everything. It's absolutely loaded with buds! 🌱 #bloomscrolling #gardening

Loved the topiary section on #chelseaflowershow. The niwaki trees are fab!

Had a brilliant discovery today. I've only been in this house for a couple of months and every day there's a new surprise. This iris looks almost black in the sunshine and when you get close up it's just stunning. 🌱 #gardenshour #bloomscrolling

Good to hear how #gardening helped this chap during his #MentalHealth issues. That's one (of many) reason why having Green Therapy gardens at hospitals and GP surgery sites can be so beneficial to patients and the wider community. #GardenersWorld

I've propagated exochorda The Bride from seed I collected. Hoping for the first flowers next year. Seed collected & sown in 2022 - it's a slow burn! Sprinkle seeds from the pods on a pot of compost, cover with grit & just leave them outside to germinate. 🌱 #gardenersworld

I've been prevaricating on some work all week & finally got it finished this afternoon so I've got a guilt-free weekend of gardening ahead. Bliss! Going to make a start on getting some life back into very poor soil. #newgarden #gardenersworld 🌱

George on #BeechgroveGarden is such a proper old skool plantsman. You just know you're getting the good info when he's on! #gardening

Daily bird day 11, we have some stunning birds in the UK, but most are often overlooked. Look at the starling, usually taken for granted but they're absolutely beautiful. #birds #ukbirds #nature #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #ukwildlife #ukbird #naturelovers

🌱 The #roses have entered the chat. There are quite a few in this garden and if they all turn out to be as beautiful as this one, I'll be very happy indeed! Anyone have any ideas of what its name might be? #rosewednesday #bloomscrolling #gardening

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

Finally cracked getting these beardy beauts to flower. 💜 Planting on the surface so the tubers can bake in the sun is absolutely the key to producing flowers the following year. 🌱 #gardening #bloomscrolling #beardediris

Looks like there could be a little rain this evening. I've just put out a load of trugs to collect whatever water I can! 🌱
