🍂What have I been up to this week? 🎃 Hellebores... I love Hellebores, they're a wonderful winter flower, blooming from Winter Solstice to well past Spring Equinox.

Now that their new flower buds are just starting to show through at the base of the plant, it is a good time to cut back the old larger leaves 🌿
This benefits by allowing good air circulation around the plant, helping to keep disease at bay but also will reveal the flowers for a better display once in full bloom 🌸

Hellebore leaves are thick and waxy and tend not to compost easily. A quick and fun way to rectify this is to run over them with a lawn mower. A tonne bag of leaves quickly compacts into three mower boxes of shredded leaves to make delicious compost 👩‍🌾

Do you feel the weather in your body? 😫 Well these dark evenings have hit Haaard!
Along with the sudden change of low barometric pressure that came in with the recent storms, my body and circadian rhythms have been knocked for six. So now that it's dark at half five, I'm fully embracing hibernation mode.

Bubble baths, hot chocolate, fluffy jammies and Bake Off 🥰

🎉🎁 Happy 7th Birthday to Kili 🥳💕
Everyday I'm grateful that I have created a business whereby I get to spend most of my days hanging out with my best friend 🐕🐾

Today we've been for a wet and wild walk on the Mendips and this evening it will be rump steaks all round ☺️❤️

🌬 The Calm before The Storm ⛈️ There's something special about the prelude to a storm, the still air, all the heightened sounds of birds tweeting, the stream gently bubbling, a dog in the distance barking, the anticipation.

So as the planet Mercury starts to turn retrograde and we prepare for Austen, the first storm of the season, it's time to batten down the hatches and get cosy.

I'll be sitting this one out from the comfort of my duve 🩷

💻📚Working From Home ☕️ with heavy rain set in for the duration, I chose a good day to be working from home whilst having planned maintenance done on my van.

I may not have my hands in the soil but there's plenty of admin that goes alongside running a gardening business, from keeping my accounts in order to planning the calender, scheduling clients and even drafting social media posts.

It's nice to have a quiet day at home to catch up on it all as over a month it does all add up.

Ps. How Kili stayed still in the rocking chair for this photo was quite something, the concentration is real 😆

We're in full flung bulb planting season and what's not to love about Gladiator Alliums?!
🍂💜🌷

As a rule of thumb, plant bulbs to a depth of three times their size with the pointy end facing towards the sky.

I put these alliums and tulips in at a trowels depth (15cm).
I arranged them on the surface first before planting so not to lose track of what was where (made that mistake before 🫣🤭)

Gladiator Alliums grow tall and give great structure towards the back of a border and the Tulips a wonderful splash of colour towards the front 🌷💛🌷

Protip: If your garden is frequented by deer, hang bars of soap around your tulips to stop the deer eating them like smarties 🦌🌷🧼

This Rosemary is in touch with it's Mediterranean heritage, deciding to come into flower during our mild Autumn 💜🍂

The blooms were a welcome sight for this early morning forager. Out and about at 8.20 this morning whilst it was really too cold, she was making every concerted effort to gather nectar for the colony before the imminent winter hibernation 🐝

Precious moments when the clients 5yr old son shows me the Passion Flower in bloom in their garden and recognises it as the same as what's in my Moon & Garden logo on my t-shirt 😍
