A couple of snaps from the garden. The pond is hiding in there somewhere. The garden has grown at a very fast rate, I think it's time for some dividing, thinning, & pruning as well as lots of weeding 😬

Hello 👋 Just realised it's been almost 2 years since I last posted on here. I needed a break from all the social media platforms & it has done me the world of good. Still gardening away in my little corner of the world & currently rebuilding the veg beds that have rotted away 🙄

The OH has always been a bit down about not seeing any of the frogs from the pond once they have left, always worried that they don't make it, but it's made his day discovering 3 little frogs when he went to move a pot. All safe & sound & now back underneath (it's on pot feet) 🐸

Excuse my very poor video skills. This is Rox who comes to the window every couple of hours for a feed. I must brush up my video and editing skills 🤣

Is there anything more annoying in the garden than the hosepipe that gets snagged on every nook and cranny? Yes it's the expensive attachments that leak down your arm or all over your feet after a couple of weeks use😬

A rather grey & cool day here again with added drizzle. So we decided to head to the beach & do a coastal walk. First one I've done in ages since I injured my knee, it was a lot slower than normal but we managed to do 3.6 miles so quite pleased. Hope you've all had a good day 🤗

The first of the Ensata Iris to open in our garden. I always look forward to seeing these beauties #GardeningX

The weather this year is driving us both into a big black hole. I think it's time to book our first holiday in over 14 years. Kefalonia?, Santorini? Rhodes?, Who knows, just somewhere not wet & windy 🙄

We do everything we can to support wildlife in our garden, so what do Carmarthenshire council do today? They send the flailing machines out to cut the hedgerow's & verges, it's still nesting season here! We have shrews, voles, & all kinds of bees & insects @BBCSpringwatch 🙁 😭

I put an old cat bowl on a table by my back door some weeks ago with bird food in to help support a robins nest a few feet away. They've now fledged but one of the adults comes to the window & sings to me to tell me it's empty & comes to my feet in the garden. So sweet 🐥🐥

Just back from my favourite nursery @FarmNurseries where I purchase 3 different varieties of Rodgersia for a particular damp area at the back of the pond. I fell in love with a gorgeous specimen tree of Pterostyrax & would have bought it but our garden is just too exposed 🙁

A few pictures from the garden today. Yes we do have sun 🌞 hope you're all good and well #gardeningX

Iris sibrica Golden Edge flowering in the garden today. One of my favourites #GardeningX

When I created pond No.1 we chose not to have fish as I wanted it to be as wildlife friendly as possible & we are in prime Heron territory. I've not added any plants to it in at least 16 months so I was not expecting to find fish fry in it today. Has it been raining fish? 🤔 🐟🐟
