I love the Broad Beans flowers! 😁 The bees seem to agree and hopefully there will be a good crop of beans to follow. #flowers #happysolstice #sunshine #vegetables #garden #organic

Anyone who thinks vegetable gardens are dull obviously hasn't spent enough time looking at potato #flowers. #gardening #Homegrown #organic 🥔 🌸

This Latticed Heath moth was spotted a day or two ago in West Lothian. They rest rather like butterflies and are active during the day. Very lovely!

Three Peppered moths on the #garden trap this morning! Such stunning moths. Look at those lovely feathered antennae. #teammoth #lepidoptera #MothsMatter #Fife #30DaysWild
