These gifts that I just bought for the #bees - scabious, sedum, campanula, oregano and marigolds, are all either repotted or planted out. Most popular by far with honey bees & bumblebees is the oregano, with sedum a distant second. Just saying. 🐝
Visited a garden centre today to choose some bee-friendly plants. We just followed where the local bees were headed, and these are some of the plants to which they led us.🐝🐝
Just two fruits left on our persimmon tree as far as I can see. There were six three weeks ago. 😢 our first crop two years back was one, and nothing last year.
Random first attempt at witches’ frogpond cookies- and look, there are tadpoles.
@racheldeering.bsky.social Didn’t know LW drew owls. Here’s a book from about 1904! Drawings & poems.
Anyone know this type? #fungifriends - found a site showing 248 types but couldn’t find a match.
Hettie’s favourites. It would be good if #CatsofBluesky could describe their preferred toys and save us a lot of bother. I’m pathetically grateful when Hettie plays with a new toy. 😺👍🏻
However did cats manage before cushions were invented? #CatsofBluesky
Hettie says sorry to be a little grubby, but she’s been out rolling in the veg patch overnight & is too tired to clean up.
Well that’s the smashed cucumber done, and ingredients ready for griddled asparagus and baby gem with lemon & pistachio dressing. Lunch sorted.
Again, with htags - You ain’t seen me, roight? #Caturday #CatsofBlueSky
Hettie about to help water the garden. Best I could do for #Caturday - she does that when we try to get a photo.
Well this construction will be fun for us neighbours. Another floor to be added at least, maybe a loft room too. Already very noisy, massive vehicles etc and won’t be finished by their June deadline.
@sardonicus.eu Anubis arrived safely, although it took ten years. Or did it?
This is the breakfast I feel I probably deserve before doing the laundry and enrolling on a BSL course.
