#Tulip #festival in #Arundel in the #castle #gardens

Delighted to see my article on growing geums in this week’s Amateur Gardening magazine.

I’ve been talking to the National Collection holder and getting some top tips and advice on the best varieties.

Ok. The world is blowing up, we have a full blown constitutional crisis, the empire is falling and Babylon is burning. I have much to say about all of it. But the same thoughts are running through your head too, I have no doubt. While we consider what machinists have the right skills to make large blades, I remind you that Mother Nature is just outside. Pet a flower, feed a squirrel, gather your spoons. We have a long fight ahead of us.

I'm loving the markings on the petals of this tulip. It's a new variety for me this year and perfect for today's Cheering Up Mondays flower. More on my blog: https://bit.ly/3YpZiA6

Didn't get the clothesline up, but we spread 3/4 rock around the west side of the house and AC unit. Worked on S & E #gardens. Amazing the difference raking, picking up sticks, and filling in holes makes. the 3 new passion fruit plants make it. Grapes decided to come back even though I thought the fire had taken them forever. Guess they just needed some new friends: blueberries (new) and blackberry (also survived). Next weekend I'm dealing with the poison oak spot - I'm the only one immune.

Good afternoon, from the streets of Brooklyn…

Got frost?

Since it might freeze tonight I put the lids on the plastic jars that are protecting these lettuce transplants. The jars help protect the small plants from being battered by the wind and I like to think they might help keep slugs off. The jars originally had mixed nuts and I cut the bottoms off.

Also in the pic are Walla Walla onions that were started from seed last fall and overwintered in the greenhouse before being transplanted into this raised bed.

The free #Auckland Botanic #Gardens are beautiful and have a rose garden. It showcases a diverse range of more than 10,000 plants from New Zealand and around the world. Have you been here and how did you like it? #NewZealand https://backpackandsnorkel.com/Auckland/#botanical

My container display is doing well (gifted). On the blog, there's a round up of what's happening in my garden. We've been forced into a major renovation project and I've got a voucher code for pots from British Flowerpots. Read about it here: https://bit.ly/44fl5y4

Really nice #nature #artwork, made by local #artist friends of mine; msg me if interested in any of these large beautiful creations below ---

With the warmer weather, the wee folk will be back in the gardens. Remember not to use pesticides or weed killers, which will lead to the extinction of our small friends. (These houses are from Ripple Pottery in Rumney, NY, near where we vacation each summer.) #Gardens #Gardening #NativePlants #Pottery #NoPesticides

It’s a good year for blossom - let’s hope we don’t get frost.

This is the ‘Pershore Yellow Egg’ plum. It produces huge yellow plums that are terrible raw but cooked produce fruit with a great flavour and clear, golden juice. Pershore isn’t far from me so almost a local variety.

A throwback to RHS Chelsea for this week's Cheering Up Mondays flower. My press pass is approved and I'm counting down the days.
