It’s been months since I was last here, what’s been going on!? Some of what’s been going on since I was last here! New embroidery patterns, painting, a flourishing garden and the dog continues to be adorable #embroidery #painting #pollinatorsparadise #dogsofmastodon
A few cut flowers from the pollinators paradise garden. Did you know sweet peas can hear approaching buzzers and on their approach produces sweeter nectar to tempt them in 🐝? #Pollinators #PollinatorsParadise #GardenForThePlanet
In the “Pollinators’ Paradise Garden” last week, I spotted a new visitor! It’s the very first peacock butterfly I’ve ever seen and it’s made all the time, money and effort seem worth it to have such a gorgeous visitor. I’m trying to decide how to make my account here more useful from a gardening / climate perspective - what kinds of things do people want to see? Give me a shout! #Gardening #GardenForThePlanet #Pollinators #PollinatorsParadise #PollinatorGarden #Climate #ClimateChange

🐉 Made a little preview of our housemates' first content mod (WIP) that they want to show off at #BlanketCon next month - and it's all about bees!

Disclaimer of bias - we've been teaching them the mod dev for this :P but we do think it's neat outside of that ^^

My focus this year is very much on gardening for the environment around me rather than just for myself. It’s clearly paying off as I keep getting some wonderful helpers! They’ve been loving this range of plants - a nice open climbing rose, some flowering veg, weeds, and an allium have all played their part and everyday I go out I spot pollinators! #PollinatorsParadise #GardenForThePlanet
My peony (in a raised bed) has gone very sad. The seller has told me it was my fault because it needs to be in the ground not a pot but everywhere I’ve looked says peonies in pots is fine. Anyone know? Otto Froebel if that makes a difference #gardening #gardens #peonies #GardenForThePlanet #PollinatorsParadise #Pollinators
Some garden updates from the #PollinatorsParadise : the daffodils are finally out! I’ve been adding in bird feeding coconuts to make the garden even more wildlife friendly, and then there’s some even more exciting growth from brand new plants - a peony and my lambs ear. How are everyone else’s gardens doing? Any exciting pollinator friendly growth happening? #pollinators #GardenForThePlanet #wildlife
My #Garden resolutions for this year - continuing the #PollinatorsParadise (todays task below) & sharing the journey to help others; getting an allotment 🤞🏻; making a 🎃 arch; getting a wildlife water feature in; grow more from seed; get the patio and path sorted #GardensHour
