I had a great time collecting the seed heads of these Tagetes patula (French marigolds) and then popping them open to reveal the match-stick like contents when I got home!
2020
October garden joural
I get a rare glimpse of an urban fox, thank nature for its many gifts and appreciate the blooms of my house plants.
September garden journal
I get back in the community garden, harvest the fruit and veg and discover a rather unusual trombone squash.
August garden journal
I get a little stressed with RHS revision but many garden surprises bring me back to reality.
July garden journal
I meet a very friendly magpie and demonstrate bizarre things for my RHS exams.
June garden journal
The plants are getting tasty and that means lots of insects to discover! I've also been weeding, experimenting with mulch and thinning out snapdragons.
May garden journal
I've been dividing and planting out seedlings, pruning and admiring the beauty of nature (as always).
April garden journal
It has been a strange month with my usual schedule thrown out of wack, but there's always something to be sown or divided at this time of year!
March garden journal
Gardening has provided a much-needed sense of connection in a time of isolation. I've been identifying seeds, learning about right angles, double digging, mulching gooseberry shrubs, experimenting with micro greens and preparing my greenhouse!
