I am doing all I can to keep some floral colour in a very dry and unforgiving heat..then Mr Bumble comes along and makes the effort worthwhile #beekind

Hello!

Ooh junk mail at 6.45pm? No..it's a message from my former MP!

First harvest of onions..red and shallots and random spring onions...planted before first heatwave, stopped then grew on and I am soooo happy!!! #growyourown #vegplot #homeallotment

Bees buzzing around my runner beans! #growyourown #beekind

I shared this photo of the cats who run the show..dog doesn't stand a chance, does he? P.S. they tolerate him; he loves it Happy #caturday

Love them! Sir Paddington Neatfeet of Millfields (Paddy) earned his name as he insisted on being my cat...happy #caturday

Or cats in a garden... Paddy in bed!

It's a marmalade cat "thing"..sleep well, George..purrs from cousin Paddy 🐾😻

Morning Kentish neighbours..tiredness like you wouldn't believe! I am considering a move up north if this is what will be our summers in future - has anyone warned our new PM-In-Waiting? Video of the puggle wuggle eating frozen homemafe doggy ice cream - the cats are halpy with roly poly ice "cubes"

He is adorable! One of his cousins says "hello" - Poirot, better known as Purry!

Been there..now I have an assistant: little Builder Boo 🤣

I'm growing everything in containers this year..just some here!

I planted an avocado seed 1 year ago..brought it inside over winter..now look! Living his best life 💚

So Iran is under fire again...Trump will not be outdone by Farage it seems!

Lollo Rosso (grown by me!), baby spinach (it does make me stop and think "baby"?), chopped avocado, chopped onion and a generous portion of beautiful sun-filled Greek olives..crumbled vegan "feta cheese" Bowl by Denby, because that deliciousness deserves class! #veganfortheanimals #homegrownveg

Breakfast today; chestnut mushrooms gently fried, added Violife non dairy 'cream cheese' and a selection of fresh cut herbs e.g. chives, parsley - then piled on my homemade wholemeal toast! #veganfortheanimals #homegrownveg #mushroomsarefunguys

I waited so long for a Taunton Deane cutting...no darn cabbage white is having it!!! #vegplot #growyourown #gardening

Veg that almost breathing its last..season well then cover with a mix of silken tofu, cashew cream and Violife garlic and herb soft cheese Oven bake for 30 or 40 minutes 🤞🤞🤞

Not the weather to try your luck..happy caturday!

Not growing stuff this year..just a courgette and salad stuff perhaps..ha ha ha!

Today...

Planted mine out (UK east coast) early May with light covering - now doing well!

Seems appropriate given recent events...

Great news! My puggle, Boo, sends his regards (this is him silently judging me)

@thepirateswife.bsky.social My little girl Purr-Oh (my favourite fictional character is Poirot!) was 1 year old this week..sharing with you

I love a marmalade cat! Found this photo of my cat the day after saying sad farewells to a cat hating staffy! He'd lived in an abandoned garden for 5 years but chose me to sort him out - matched the furniture, so why not?

Suits me!
