Beekeeper with deep interest in the natural world. 3, much loved dogs. Oh, and some gardening.
Tomato seeds in on the windowsill. Orangeto, which we grew last year and which were fabulous, and a new one for us called Honeymoon. Orangeto seeds are tiny. At first I thought there were none in the packet. #gardening
Nope, I can confirm the potatoes are not up yet #DogsOfMastodon #gardening
Dug up an enormous fern which I loved but which went over the front path. This gave me the excitement of having a nearly empty 5 foot square, shadey bed to plant up. I am going for white and yellow to brighten a darkish area. I now need ideas for the other side of the path, upright but low and gets very little sun🤔 #gardening
Bees are busy on the celendine bringing in lots of yellow pollen. All 6 very busy in this apiary. Not going through them yet just hefting for stores and checking for busyness. This unseasonably warm spell has given them a boost. 4 apiaries checked and all 4 pleasingly active. #bees #honey #honeybees
