Evening #GardenersWorld folks. A couple of pics from my garden this week. The bees are absolutely loving this camelia at the moment. And the snowdrops were brought from my family home. Hoping they'll multiply over the coming years. 🌱

This fella was on the roof of the car I parked next to at the supermarket this afternoon. Didn't budge when I put the window down to take the photo or when I got out of the car. Utterly unfazed by being face to face. Herring gulls are HUGE! Beautiful plumage - I'm guessing it's about 4 years old? 🪶

Just what I was hoping to see today, blossom against blue sky! I may have taken too many photos! 🤭 Cherry plum I think as the sepals fold back. #BlossomWatch @wildflowerhour.bsky.social @bsbibotany.bsky.social #DailyFlowers #vitaminN #joy #Lancashire

Just thinking about #jobsfortheweekend. Looks like there might be some sun for a first proper foray into my new garden. Going to have a bit of a tidy up and put up a box for my new birdy chums. Happy gardening, folks! 🌱 #GardenersWorld

I remember thinking when I first saw it, that this Cornish garden is an incredible achievement. Haven't changed my opinion - it's a lovely space. I'd be terrified of falling off the cliff though! #GardenersWorld

New house, new garden, new birds! THRILLED to see this little fella outside my kitchen window this morning. There's a resident robin, too, and I'm pretty sure it's living in one of the evergreen shrubs. So much good stuff going on in this garden! 🪶🌱

Really great to see the bonsai man again. There's something very relaxing about his way of speaking & I do find the shapes of the trees quite beautiful. #GardenersWorld

Very much enjoying having #GardenersWorld back as we ramp up to spring. Second Friday evening in my new home & looking forward to creating a new garden. I really think candelabra primula are going to have to feature somewhere!

Doge is auditing NASA today. This is absurd. The owner of Space X should not be auditing NASA. It’s a massive conflict of interest.

Within 10 years a single nest box can provide shelter for 100 baby blue tits! Help birds during #NationalNestboxWeek by putting up a bird box – or leave out some nesting materials such as moss, twigs and natural wool. More ideas: bit.ly/4jGzo4f

This is a sewing pattern. It is also a page from a late 14th century manuscript that is one of two primary sources for an important Icelandic saga (Sturlunga saga), but that was probably not important to the 17th century person who really needed a sewing pattern. #upcycling
