Walnut Kitchen Garden 🌶🫑🌼🍅🥦🌸🫐🍒🌿

Yesterday’s haul 🌿💜🍅🥒🌶️💛🌿 Even if you only grow herbs or chillies on your windowsill, 3 tomato plants in a bag or some beans in a pot, the flavour, satisfaction & pleasure are immense! 😋 #kitchengarden #Homegrown #growyourown

This moth has been on the scabious for the last few mornings as I’ve watered. I think it’s a Silver Y, but would be pleased for confirmation from any experts out there 🦋 #wildlifewednesday #moths

‘Gabriel oak’ hasn’t stopped blooming since he started 🌿🌸🩷 The roses are smaller & are not lasting with this ongoing hot, hot summer, but still a great addition to any border 💕 #RoseWednesday #summerblooms #bloomscrolling

I’m lucky to have so many bumblebees in the garden, but then I do plant things they like. They absolutely love Echinops Ritro 'Globe Thistle' 🌿💙🐝🐝🐝💙🌿 #TuesdayBlue #bees #summerblooms

The early sun this morning, coming through the very pink gladioli flowers 🌿🩷🌿🩷🌿🩷 #magentamonday #summerblooms #bloomscrolling

@DollysGarden Isn’t it sad to be closing out the summer when we wait so long for it 🙃 Still a lovely cool breeze here, but hot in the sun ☀️ Lovely rose Helen 🌼💛

Rosa ‘Golden Gate’ on second flush of blooms. 🌼 Beautifully fresh and breezy start…making the most of it before the curtains are closed for the day! 😂 #SundayYellow #DollysCottageGarden #Gardening #Flowers Have a fab day all. 😎

@PicturedImage I haven’t grown them for a while because of that, but gave in to the colour again 💛

@PotteringPolly It looks beautiful🥒! I tried growing a yellow type once but they didn't do anywhere near as well as the ordinary green ones, so I didn't try again. However, I really like the appearance of them.

I love these yellow courgettes/zucchini. They’re certainly easier to spot amongst all the leaves, but they are never as vigorous as my green ones. Does anyone else find that? 💛🥒💛🥒💛🥒💛 #SundayYellow #kitchengarden #homegrown #courgettes

@groodendorst Snap 💜😊

@PotteringPolly It was such a relief to have a good night's sleep. 😴 There is a lovely cool, fresh breeze this morning, so all the windows are open wide. Have a lovely Sunday.

At last a cooler night with more normal summer temperatures. A perfect night's sleep! There's an even fresher feel to the weather this morning here in North Yorkshire. #SevenOnSunday Clematis and Hardy Geraniums.

@SueyQP They look great Susan. I used to grow big round ones but just find the humble courgette easier to cook with 💛

@PotteringPolly I’ve got round yellow courgettes this year - not sure what size they are supposed to be so picking when the prickles have gone! (Lemon in photo for perspective)

@JTGreenLife Funny isn’t it! 🥒💚

@PotteringPolly Yellow courgettes are gorgeous! 💛🥒 Had the same issue, my green ones always outgrow them. Still worth it though! 🌿

@OliverLynne Our cat used to go & greet the hedgehog as it came through from next door each night, I’m sure they liked each other 😻🦔

@GrowHouseDave Yes Dave, that’s exactly what it feels like 😄

Matching the weather, it’s ‘hot’ colours for #SixonSaturday, have a wonderful day everyone #MyGarden 🧡

@katespatch Lovely combo Kate 🤍💜🤍💜

Verbena & Wild Carrot great mix! Both self sow like crazy!! #britishflowers #homegrown

First of the wild gazanias for #SundayYellow 💛🌼💛

@JudeStevens I’ve said before but it’s great to see these plants in the wild. Thanks Judy 💛

August Pride peaches, always huge and flavorful.

@AlisaVarney My mouth is literally watering. They look so delicious! 😋

@OliverLynne Well done Lynne. I hope someone’s moved in. We have hedgehogs & it’s wonderful 🥰

@CliveBuckley You have to make sure it’s very secure. Ours is against a wall so it makes it easy to do.

@PotteringPolly We've only had our cherry tree for a couple of years. Thus far the score is me 3 cherries, the birds all the rest. I guess we should net but we worry about hurting the birds.

After the promise of all that cherry blossom in April, Mr & Mrs blackbird helped themselves to the lot, or so we thought… We replaced the ripped netting because of the plum next to it & last night we spotted 9 hidden jewels 🍒🍒🍒😋 #homegrown #cherries #kitchengarden #gyo
