Ringed China-mark? Love its curly antennae. #Teammoth #mygarden

A Jersey Tiger sitting on the outside of my window. #Mygarden #Teammoth

In case you are feeling rather warm this evening here is something white and very cool - frosted fern. #sixweeksofcolour #Gardenshour 🌱

Geranium 'Splish Splash'. My favourite hardy geranium. Just in from weight lifting watering cans. More rain dancing folks! #Sixweeksofcolour #Gardenshour #Mygarden

Walked across the water meadows from Salisbury to Harnham. Delightful.

1st August 2026 This 'gull' was entertaining the crowds at the Cambridge Folk Festival today when it suddenly 'flew' over to these two guys who were eating and just stood there watching them and now the more I think about this the funnier it gets.

Flowers from amongst the stressed plants in #Mygarden. We might have a little rain next week 🤞 #Sixonsaturday 🌱

Rain!!!!! Sitting outside enjoying it! #mygarden #Gardening

Emails tempting me back to my expensive tulip habit have started to drop into my inbox..... Seems early. #Sixweeksofcolour #Gardenshour

Dry. #sixonsaturday #mygarden #Gardening

Fewer micros in the trap this morning. Might be explained by bat droppings! This Wave is a macro but which wave? Same moth, lower colour more accurate. #Teammoth

I believe, and Forestry Commission sites seem to agree, that this is an Oak Processionary moth. We are on the edge of the westerly expansion from London of the pest. Oh dear! I won't be releasing it. #Teammoth #Mygarden #Trees

The product of a couple of packets of seeds. Just scatter and water! Hosepipe ban looms. #Gardenshour #Mygarden 🌱

In 2024, the Dutch Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology introduced the 'Infuuts', a bike for children attached to tubes and IVs. The bike is now available to hospitals worldwide, offering kids distraction, freedom, and joy during their hospital stay. 👌🏼 🚲 🥰 🎥 Prinses Máxima Centrum

Look what flew in - a male Gypsy Moth! Must have moved north over the border from Hampshire, or come west from London. #Teammoth #Mygarden

Catmint!!! Charlie Cat tucking in. #Cats #Mygarden

Elephant Hawk moth. Finding a dead one of these on the pavement when I was 8 is a very vivid memory. One of nature's masterpieces. #teammoth #mygarden

Moth seaching for its identity! The name is so much bigger than the moth. #teammoth #Mygarden

Watering mainly. The things in bloom and those that will follow on, to provide our bees with pollen and nectar. Trying to keep our light soil moist to keep bacteria and micro fauna going. The nettle leaved bell flower is a 'good' weed. #Gardenshour #Mygarden #Gardening 🌱

Pine Hawk moth. Magnificent creature. #Teammoth #Mygarden

The leaf cutter bee continues to put her babies in the patio table rim. Guess they will be safe from the woodpecker inside the aluminium tube. #Mygarden #Bees

Blooms, mostly from the shade. Red, white, and blue - happy birthday American may you regain sanity and equilibrium soon. #SixonSaturday #Mygarden #Gardening 🌱

Despite providing bee hotel facilities this leafcutter bee has found a little screw hole into the void in the rim of our large round patio table. Wonder if it will fill up the whole rim of the table! #mygarden #Bees #Gardening

Look what you get for the price of a pack of seeds! The ones in full sun seemed to suffer in the high temperatures - slight aroma of greens cooking! #Gardenshour #Mygarden #Gardening

This June I have loved the serendipitous combinations the self sown celery has created. Here with marjoram. #Gardenshour #Mygarden #Gardening

Progressing through poppies, buddleia, and scabious. Smug today as I managed to return some rigidity to the compost bin. Also found, and quickly recovered, some snake eggs. #Gardenshour #mygarden #Gardening
