Past Times

Meanwhile on Instagram...

A lovely show garden which highlighted the work of the Greenfingers #charity and how restful the colour green is for a garden space. I loved the creamy yellows which added highlights to the planting in this garden and elsewhere. It was my #chelseaflowershow colour for this year. #rhschelsea2019 #rhschelseaflowershow #greenfingers #mellowyellow #botanicalpickmeup #underthefloralspell #myhappymoments #gigfy #igerslondon#instagarden #gardenideas #gardenblogger #gdnbloggers #vegplotting #vegplottingblog

Brightly coloured raffia, who knew? By the same people who brought you twine in all colours of the rainbow. I'd like to scoop them all up and bring them home 😊 #raffia #raffiamad #rainbowcolors #gardenaccessories #musthaveitem #gardensundries #rhschelseaflowershow #rhschelsea #rhschelsea2019 #igerslondon #gardenideas #gardenblogger #gdnbloggers #vegplotting #vegplottingblog

Part of the Kirstenbosch exhibit at this year's #rhschelsea flower show and a welcome return to top form in the #greatpavilion. I'm told there were problems with the plants clearing customs for the display, so the exhibitors were up against it to get everything ready for the show. I'm glad they managed to pull it off in time for #pressday. I hope to visit and see this native flora for real one day 😊 #botanicalpickmeup #nativeplants #southafrica #kirstenbosch #kirstenboschgardens #rhschelsea2019 #rhschelseaflowershow #gardenblogger #gdnbloggers #vegplotting #vegplottingblog

Today is #plantday aka Fascination of Plants day, and I think this overhead shot of Bidens is a suitable celebration because it shows perfectly why this cultivar is called 'Spotlight'. It’s gracing the hanging basket by my front door 😊 #botanicalpickmeup #flowerstagram #planstagram #hangingbasket #simplethingsmakemehappy #floraldecor #gardenideas #gigfy #gardenblogger #gdnbloggers #mygardenrightnow #myinspiration #vegplotting #vegplottingblog #happyplants

Love these balloons decorating the night sky at #cabotcircus. The rest of the evening was disappointing, but these ensured I left Bristol with a smile on my face 😊 #balloonart #bristollife #lightart #igersbristol #travelblogger #vegplotting #vegplottingblog #southwesternengland #southwestisbest

In the absence of the usual borrowed backdrop of the Malvern Hills due to the weather, it allowed us instead to focus on Simon Gudgeon's beautiful Zephyr sculpture on Peter Dowle's award winning show garden. There was much to smile about in the rain on Thursday, and now the weather is set fair, weekend visitors are in for a treat 😊 #rhsmalvern #showgarden #gardenshow #igersworcestershire #igersherefordshire #threecountiesshowground #sculpture #peterdowle #simongudgeon #botanicalpickmeup #travelblogger #gardenblogger #gdnbloggers #vegplotting #vegplottingblog #visitworcestershire

I got taken by surprise back in February when a floral crown was popped on my head and I was asked to pose for my photo. I love the concept of #gardendayuk, a time to gather friends and family together in the garden to celebrate the day and enjoy each others company. How often do we down our tools and just enjoy the moment? Making a flower crown is also encouraged, but not compulsory... judging by my lawn a daisy chain or three are very much on the cards for Sunday #gardenday #flowercrown #flowerstagram #gardensmakemehappy #botanicalpickmeup #simplethingsmakemehappy #vegplotting #vegplottingblog #gardenblogger #gdnbloggers

It's May and the #wisteria have revved up into swoonworthy mode. Clifton Village in Bristol is elegant at the best of times, but training a wisteria either side of your front window takes it up another level - literally! 😉 #cliftonvillage #igersbristol #botanicalpickmeup #gardensofinstagram #flowerstagram #floral_perfection #bristollife #southwesternengland #visitbristol #greatwestway #gardenblogger #gdnbloggers #vegplotting #vegplottingblog #punstagram #punsarefun

I'm looking forward to plenty of salad days with these beauties, not just for #nationalgardeningweek 😊 I was going to plant them out today, but the forecast says frost for tonight so I'll harden them off for a little longer. I use the Charles Dowding method of harvesting: pick the outside leaves and leave a central core to grow again. That way these will crop for weeks instead of just a few days. #gardeningtips #saladsofinstagram #saladdays #lettuce #gyo #gigfy #gardenblogger #gdnbloggers #ediblegardening #ediblesofinstagram #vegplotting #vegplottingblog
