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

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

Poor photo of a very lively 'Old Lady' moth. Flew in through an open window. NFG. Big creature! #Teammoth #Mygarden

Don't rush to cut back your hardy geraniums! You're chopping off food for finches. You'll miss out on the delight of seeing a bullfinch bouncing on the seed heads. #Mygarden #Gardenersworld #gardening

Greenery. Have been watering and cleaning and refilling all the various bird baths. #Gardening #Mygarden

Poor hot Charlie cat. He's shedding spare fur and catching some evening breezes on the 'ventilated' patio chair. #cats

Joy is that it's raining in Berkshire. Clearing the air and watering plants before the furnace temperatures to come. #Gardenshour #Gardening 🌱

When you see wrinkles think poppy petals. #Mygarden #Gardening

Marbled White butterfly a new arrival in #mygarden #Gardening #SixonSaturday

Strong sunshine creating strong shadows. #Mygarden #Gardening 🌱

'Charles Darwin'. It's not very vigorous but it does tolerate dappled shade. #Roses #Mygarden #Gardening 🌱

This scabious was very disappointing last year, but now it's covered in statuesque flowers. Glad I didn't dig it out! #Mygarden #Gardening 🌱

Cheerful nasturtiums. So easy to grow. Big reward for minimal effort. #Mygarden #Gardening

A spectrum of colours from #Mygarden . #Gardenshour #Gardening

In my mini meadow, just 2.5m x 3m. It's a patch of bluebells which are very difficult to eradicate, not that I want to get rid of bluebells. So I have extended the interest period by making a summer meadow. #mygarden #Gardening #meadows

A borrowed garden. Roses overhanging my son's little courtyard. #Gardening #roses

It might be half heartedly spitting with rain but I am still having a coffee outside. Sitting contemplating #Mygarden . #Gardening 🌱

Lady Hillingdon. #RoseWednesday #mygarden #gardening

My liberal distribution of ox-eye daisy seeds last year has borne fruit. They sway in the breeze and attract more wildlife. #Mygarden #Gardening 🌱
