‘ A red hot poker and a yellow flower;’ more toxic than @pritipatel MP🤔... actually the variety Bees Lemon is beautiful and so drought tolerant. Perfect antidote to the scorching temperatures like a tub of @dazshagen ice cream👍 #kniphofia #kniphofias #kniphofiabeeslemon #beeslemon #yellowflowers #droughttolerant #droughttolerantplants #pritipatel #hagendazs

Fabulous detail which we love achieved by our in house team; so much easier to ensure than when you let loose some sunbird or builders to create the outdoor room👏👌 #details #detailing #bricks #brickcoping #mitre #gardencreations #gardendesign #bricklaying #bricklayingskills
My first Dahlia called ‘Pooh’ Guess which is correct a) I have grown Dahlias for years or b) even though I am 60 this year I have only ever grown Dahlias to feed slugs so this year I cheated and bought some young plants from the fabulous Rachael and Ash of @gandgorgeousflowers 🤔 #dahlialover #dahlias #dahliasofinstagram #dahlia #greenandgorgeous #cutflowers #cutflowergarden #growinginthegarden #grownnotflown #cutflowersfrommygarden

Progress; a bee inspection where I did not get stung😀👍🐝 #bees #beesofinstagram #bees🐝 #beeinspired🐝 #honeybees
Attractive, easy and very functional with my arches of runner beans so you just walk through and the beans hang down ready to pick and don’t take up valuable room covering a raised bed😀👍👌 PS Winter lettuce mix and rocket to extend the growing season growing in the shade of the beans in foreground👍 #runnerbean #runnerbeans🌱 #growyourownfood #growyourown #raisedgardenbeds #raisedbeds #lowmaintenancegarden
Another first for me, Eucomis or pineapple flower. Good bulb for late flowering sunny spot or in containers. Hardy to minus 6. #eucomis #pineappleflower #summerbulbs #summerflowerbulbs
