🌱Ali Cat's Patch 🌱🌺🌳🌾🌞😻🐝

@ClassicClyde One thing at a time is perfect 👍

@Ali_Cat63 Quite daunting but one thing at a time!

After 5 years of waiting, I have my very own half plot. 💚💚 Let the digging commence! #allotment

@Milhart66Ken I'm hoping it's nothing of any concern, but have you a local chemist that can check your blood pressure? It may sound daft as most blood pressure issues show no symptoms but I started to get fuzzy light headed & dizzy episodes & got it checked out to find it was high.

@notdiprincess Happy birthday 🎂🎁💐

Yeah!! Today is my balloon day. 73 years around sun.

@littlegreentip1 How lovely, we don't tend to get them in the greenhouse, but one in there would be very useful 🐸

@Ali_Cat63 Awesome!!! I was worried we didn’t have a greenhouse frog but have seen him couple times now

The OH has always been a bit down about not seeing any of the frogs from the pond once they have left, always worried that they don't make it, but it's made his day discovering 3 little frogs when he went to move a pot. All safe & sound & now back underneath (it's on pot feet) 🐸

@ciarbyrne Happy anniversary 💐

Our 17th wedding anniversary today and we marked it by walking in the footsteps of Virginia Woolf from Monk’s House to Charleston.

@greendragon123 I've noticed they go in 2 year cycles of really good or medium harvests, last year was a bumper one whereas this year is medium. Still delicious though 😁

@Ali_Cat63 Lovely 😍 I don't seem to have many blueberries 🤔😏

The best thing I did in the garden last year was to plant other soft fruits to compliment the strawberries 🍓 😍 #growyourown

@debbiedee58 Happy birthday 🎂🎁💐

@Jemimasgarden 😂😂😂 they are

@Ali_Cat63 I hate hosepipes with a vengeance and they're just about the only cause very bad language in the garden. You've more chance of finding a unicorn in your garden than a genuinely "kink-free" hose with leak-free attachments. Sorry, but they are all utter bastards.

Is there anything more annoying in the garden than the hosepipe that gets snagged on every nook and cranny? Yes it's the expensive attachments that leak down your arm or all over your feet after a couple of weeks use😬

@littlegreentip1 They are the main culprit, ok for a while and then the constant dropping begins 🙄

@Ali_Cat63 So glad it’s not just me!!! I hate hose lock connections that leak

Excuse my very poor video skills. This is Rox who comes to the window every couple of hours for a feed. I must brush up my video and editing skills 🤣

@suelemasurier It looks like penstemon dark towers?

A rather grey & cool day here again with added drizzle. So we decided to head to the beach & do a coastal walk. First one I've done in ages since I injured my knee, it was a lot slower than normal but we managed to do 3.6 miles so quite pleased. Hope you've all had a good day 🤗

@allotmenteer32 My sweet corn are pretty much at the same stage, it's been a particularly bad growing season.

Squash and corn doing terrible this year, what a strange growing year. I’ve lost some of my pumpkins already, dead! How’s everyone else’s? #GardensHour

@GWmag It's full of wildlife & a peaceful haven

The best thing about my garden is______ Fill in the blank!

The first of the Ensata Iris to open in our garden. I always look forward to seeing these beauties #GardeningX

@rich_yorks My first lot germinated well but we're razed to the ground by the molluscs, I made a fresh sowing earlier in the week but reverted back to growing in tubs to give them a fighting chance
