Not sure there’s enough time left for this little aubergine/eggplant to mature & sadly I have to pick the beautiful flowers off to keep the energy going into the fruits. Look pretty though against the blue sky 🌿💙🌸🍆🌿 #growyourown #homegrown #aubergine #Eggplant

I thought I wouldn't end up with any beans this year. I needn't have worried. #GardensHour #Gardening

The tomato harvest is seriously slowing now 🙁🍅 Tomatoes are the first food I ever grew - a long time ago! And still my favourite 🍅🍅🍅🌿 I will miss eating them every day, but look forward to the tomato sauce in the freezer through winter 😋 #tomatotuesday #tomatoes #Homegrown

Sunshiney flowers for a sunshiney day. ☀️🌼🧡🌼💜🌼☀️ Hope you all enjoy your day and the weather is good. #Gardening #Flowers #BloomScrolling #DollysCottageGarden

Happy #RoseWednesday with these cheery roses from my local park last week 💛 have a great day 💛

Good morning. I love a peachy rose and so lovely to still see them flowering. Growing locally for today's #RoseWednesday

A beautiful Comma butterfly, having a drink of raspberry juice off the leaf 🌿🦋🧡🌿💕 #wildlifewednesday #butterfly

Last week’s garden diary. I thought the sky looked bluer! 🤔💙 walnutkitchengarden.co.uk/?p=5020

#DailyDahlia 💞 I think my name is Penhill Watermelon. I’m not quite a dinner plate variety but I might still have a bit more growing to do.😊

Have a lovely Thursday everyone #Dahlia

I normally direct sow my climbing beans on May Day, but this year I didn’t get the beans into the ground until 16th June! I started growing them in granny’s old dolly tub. They really are the easiest crop to grow, as well as peas! 🌿🫛💚 #beans #Homegrown #food #growyourown

Dahlias, food for our eyes, food for the bees 🐝🐝🐝💕 We all love a dahlia! 🩷🐝🌸🐝💕 #savethebees #bees #Dahlia #dahlialove #pinkflowers

‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ rose, love her apricot blooms and another one with a delicious scent, kind of fruity, like melon. Dismal skies here, but I hope my rose brightens your timeline. Have a fab day. ☀️🧡☀️ #Roses #Gardening #Flowers #DollysCottageGarden #BloomScrolling

Daily Picture Theme #DailyPictureTheme ‘Grow’ I love being able to grow flowers from seed.

Go little ladybird 🐞 no not onto the petal but right up the stalk to eat those yummy black-fly aphids on my dahlias 🌿🌸💕🐞 #insectthursday #wildlife #bloomscrollong #ladybird #dahlia

Always read the plant label! I didn’t realise that these orange begonias were trailing 🤣 Still, I placed a saucer across a big pot & popped the little pot on top & I’m quite pleased 🌿😀🧡❤️🧡❤️ #flowersonfriday #bloomscrolling #begonias

Bit of a clash going on! ❤️🩷 I love all colours mixed together but not sure about these two 🤔 Thought rather than moving one I’d add some yellow rudbeckia in with them. Any thoughts? #FlowersOnFriday #bloomscrolling #clashingcolours #pinkfriday

This week, the Dahlias & Geraniums continue flowering, the blue Catananche are having a 2nd flush & the Cyclamens have returned 💙🌸💕🌿 #SixOnSaturday #bloomscrolling #autumnflowers

Look what I found hiding yesterday as I started to tidy up the strawberry trough’s 🍓 A lot of things in the garden are having a second spurt now the rain has finally come. This has been the driest summer that I can remember! 💦💦💦 #SurpriseStrawberry #Homegrown #gyo

Yet more yummy cucumbers on the way 💛🥒🌼💛 I really must post our cucumber cake recipe! Blue sky this morning after rain all day yesterday 💦☀️ I hope you can enjoy your Sunday 🌿 #SundayYellow #yellowflowers #cucumber #gyo
