Delivery of TS6 5mm premium top soil from @bourne_amenity for premium project for designer @joaldersondesigns100 ... designed to be free draining so we can turf 24 hours later whatever the weather 👍👌😀 #topsoil #turfing
Great that the greenhouse is still giving second half of October, helping to feed the folk who left London at end of last week... #growyourownfood #greenhouse #myveg #grownnotflown
‘Are you ready🤔’ says Bojos Brexit Propaganda, so I am trying to prepare by avoiding Tomato Tariffs by saving my own Spanish tomato seeds; never done this before but faced with the ludicrous no deal that Bojo seems to relish so much....#nodeal #nodealbrexit #savingseeds #savingseedsfornextyear #tomato #tomatoseeds #growyourownfood #growyourownveggies
Washing my Spanish tomato seeds after soaking them for 48 hrs; then will dry them on grease proof paper for few days and store them in paper envelopes for next years crop👌👍🍅 #savingseeds #tomato #spanishtomatoes #growyourown #growyourownfood
Seeing a new project for the first time is always a thrill but imagine being invited to be involved with @jamesasinclair as this fab new eco house starts to be born in the Cotswolds with 2 acres of wild flower meadow, orchards, native bulbs and restored streams and ponds being fed by existing natural Springs. Roll on 2022🤔😮👌 #ecohouse #passivehouse #cotswolds #gardendesign
@stnectansglen a truly magical place near Bude full of fairies and spirits... complete contrast to the surrounding area, getting to the waterfall involves a good stomp and wellies or off with your boots n socks. And there’s a cafe at the end that serves at a proper Cornish pace so make a day of it😂 #bude #stnectansglen #stnectan #stnectansglenwaterfall #waterfalls
Definitely growing Dahlias next year again; Golden Sceptre, Pooh, Thomas Edison and cafe au lait ...plants from @burfordgarden and @gandgorgeousflowers #growyourown #grownnotflown #dahlias #cutflowers #cutflowersfrommygarden
Costings are sooo boring, so cake and coffee are essential fuels, hence a quick trip to @goringgrocer for a pastel de mata, whilst being blown away by their arrangement from @gandgorgeousflowers #coffeebreak #cakeandcoffee #pasteldenata #goringgrocer #goringdeli #greenandgorgeous #greenandgorgeousflowers
Remembering the rain that lasted for 5 months from 1st Oct 2019, my in house team love to make an early start when it’s dry, helped by a rest room full of cup a soups👍😋 Hornbeam c/o @deepdaletrees 👌 #morning #hornbeam #carpinus #carpinusbetulus #cupasoup

A simply stunning set of steps created by our in house team for a design by @joaldersondesigns100 using purbeck stone from @artoriusfaber .... bullnosed, with dripcills and mitred corners, the client described the teams workmanship ‘as a labour of love’ 👌👍👏 #gardendesigns #naturalstone #purbeckstone #limestone
What a day; amazing burst of Autumnal colour with the sun energising the bees and (very) late crop of lettuce ready to plant out albeit under cloches #autumncolours #autumncolour #sedum #sedumautumnjoy #aster #asterfrickartii #greenhouse #lettuce #beesofinstagram
We created this garden in the Chiltern’s 20 years ago and were thrilled to see @homesandgardensuk cover the story in 2018. Intricately laid out the client has maintained the garden to impeccable standards and has always been so willing to let me show prospective clients around, with tea n cakes inevitably being offered. So when illness stopped him from looking after the garden, we jumped at the chance to look after the garden, pro bono, so it was one less thing for him and his lovely wife to worry about. May he make a speedy and full recovery🤞His garden awaits 👌 #gardendesign #chilterns #gardensinthechilterns #gardenmaintenance
So if the foul weather is not enough, you venture out to get some leeks n spuds for the roast and spot this years fresh honey fungus😮😮😮 A dreadful underground creeping fungus (most of the time) that killed a neighbours horse chestnut, crept under the fence, killed my Bramley then last year attacked this lovely pear that has supported the ‘ kids’ tree house for 19 years... will kill anything old n stressed so this young yew hedge was attacked but has fought back👍 Sadly no cure when attacks the elderly.... not even bleach #honeyfungus #fungus #fungaldiseaseawarenessweek #fungaldisease #pestanddisease
