Got soaked going to the Manor House garden this morning. So decided to do some late sowings of red and white chard, plus some Sweet Williams and Wallflowers. Picked a few runners for tea, plus courgettes. Tomatoes are starting to ripen. #manorhouse #garden #seeds #tomatoes

Did not think I could get the lawns started here at the Manor House garden as it was raining first thing, but it eventually brightened up! Had an audience at one point, young cattle wondering why I was cutting the grass instead of eating it 🤣 #manorhouse #lawns

A windy but dry day here at the Manor House. All of the front lawns mowed and looking a lot neater 👍😊 #manorhouse #lawns #church

Not even storm Floris can spoil the beauty here at the Manor House garden. Scabious, Dahlia and Cosmos complete with a bee. #manorhouse #garden #dahlia🌸 #scabious #cosmos #bee

A cloudy but warm day here at the Manor House garden. Out at the front of the house pruning the roses and cutting back the wisteria, plus a general tidy up. #manorhouse #garden #roses

A very warm day here at the Manor House garden. Hoed through the roses then lifted the onions. I noticed when watering the lettuce the bees turned up to get a drink from the water droplets, so I put out a dish for them! #manorhouse #garden #onions #waterdish

A very warm but windy day here at The Devon Patch. After a busy weekend in the garden we decided to collect ‘Honesty’ seeds which proved quite challenging in the summer breeze! #thedevonpatch #collectingseeds #honestyseeds

A cloudy day here at the Manor House garden. First job was to finish off a bit of mowing in the patio garden and a couple of paths. Took up some more edging boards which were starting to rot, edged the paths, looks so much better! #manorhouse #lawns #paths

A sunny and warm day here at the Manor House. I tackled a bit of Box hedge at the front of the manor, then generally pottering, weeding etc. Found this beautiful Lily in the front garden. #manorhouse #gardening #lily
