@periphemeral.bsky.social Don’t lose faith in humanity. You are an accidental gardener for a reason.

Did the first round of mowing of the year, I always mow in patches. Tall grass with no flowers. Had to mow around a lot of buttercups, daisies, blue bugle, bush vetches and shockingly beautiful columbines 🌱 #GardensHour #bloomscrolling

Kinda proud of the 🌱 geraniums. They’re hardened off and ready to go. First run with these. Hope to collect seed for next year.🌞

About the “news”. Is it not fake anymore? I do see small parts of news and does it seem like all the wild stuff he does says is normalized?? And no more talk if it being disinformation etc??? #Trump #notnormal

I spent a few hours watching the herons and egrets at this rookery build their nests. Just fascinating. #🪶 #birds #nature #wildlife #birding #photography #birdsofbluesky #naturephotography #birdphotography #nikon #nikonZ8 #nikonphotographer

I photographed these flowers in my mother’s garden last week. She has a patch of blue forget-me-nots in her garden and every year I discover a little cluster of flowers that has arranged itself into a perfect heart shape. Aren’t they pretty! #DailyBotanicalBeauty #SolaceInNature

This is having a good year. It’s been covered in flowers for weeks. Cercis siliquastrum otherwise known as the Judas tree, it will have heart-shaped leaves next and good autumn colour. 🌱 #greenheart #cotswolds #FlowerReport #UKGardening #BloomScrolling
