Tuesday… was dry and sunny so I went to the plot after lunch for an hour or two and did some plotting.  I cut back all the dead flower heads and stems on the sedums to ground level, then added them to the c…

Late January… and both clumps of crocuses are now flowering.  By the dog rose are the white Snow Bunting and on the main flower patch are the yellow Romance.       The later have a silvery sheen to the backs of …

Lucky dip I think that I was being rather optimistic in my post last Sunday as I still haven’t been able to any plotting, and it doesn’t look like I will a while yet. Although it has been mostly …

The bird seemed true the summer through,
But all proved false to me.”

Emily Brontë is an exquisite rose with soft pink petals that gracefully deepen into a rich apricot, while delicate, deep-set stamens add an alluring touch to each flower. 

As you draw near, you'll be enveloped by a fragrance that's a testament to the rose's sophistication. The initial strong Tea scent gently transforms into the timeless allure of Old Rose with delightful hints of lemon and grapefruit. Emily Brontë, named to commemorate the bicentenary of the renowned novelist’s birth, grows into a robust, bushy shrub with a vigorous, upright growth pattern, ensuring she becomes a standout feature in your garden.

I can finally show one of my favourite paintings from last year! This was a commission for @illumicrate.bsky.social which was printed on a blanket included in a recent Afterlight box.

Auroras are my favourite natural phenomena and i'd love to see them some day, so i'm very glad I got to paint one!

A lush green woodland with moss-covered boulders, low ferns and a scatter of bluebells beneath twisting old trees. Sunlight filters softly through the canopy. Landscapes like this should be central to nature’s recovery but without proper support and clear targets, protected sites can’t deliver what they’re supposed to.

England’s most important nature sites are being failed.❌

Protected sites can and should be driving nature’s recovery.

But today’s OEP report exposes the real problem: years of weak delivery, underfunding and political drift have left them unable to do the job the law intended.

Pot marigolds I’ve only been to the plot once so far this week as there’s been plenty of rain.  I had a look round but the ground is too soggy to do anything.  The outlook through into next week does…
