Plump

R and I spent almost the whole day in the garden, and though I’m tired now I’m very happy with our achievements. We cut back and tidied the whole of the long front border – possibly the first time this … Continued

It begins. I’ve been on bee watch for a few days now, since I saw the first photos of hairy-footed flower bees appearing in the BWARS group on Facebook. The immediate response from one of the administrators – “And we’re … Continued

Spot

Viburnum

by JDO | posted in: Flowers and plants, My garden, Worcestershire | 0

Seasonal

by JDO | posted in: Flowers and plants, My garden, Worcestershire | 0

R and I spent quite a bit of time in the garden today: I pruned the rest of the roses in the back garden, and R dug out a lot of bramble. Being former farm land, our entire plot is … Continued
