Seems Suzie will take out any obstacle in her path to munch on my Sweet Peas - that was a Wheelbarrow planted with flowers (she then munched the feverfew and calendula in it) 😈🤬

Oh Kyoto 🥰
Yesterday we took the cutest little tram out to Arashiyama to visit: Tenryu-ji temple and Sogenchi Garden, the Bamboo forests and Adashino Nenbutsuji Temple. Despite the blazing heat and humidity it was a magical day…and I got my plant and forest fix 🤎💚

Wonderful cover crops, compost slurries and testing for harmful herbicide residues... Enjoy x

Like many, I'm on the Substack movement... I'm enjoying the ad-free 'Notes' (posts) and I own my content, not the Metauniverse.

I've just published my first long form post about the widely discussed, hotly competitive horticultural topics, Tomatoes. Hope you like it... x 😊

So fab, for a myriad of joyful reasons. If you’re compelled like me to want to grow George’s Tomatoes and Purple Tomatillos (to name but a few) you can buy seed from provenancegrowers.com Congratulations @provenancegrowers on a beautiful book.

Thanks to Kirsten @milkwood for the heads up.

Organic matter is king!! Just attended the Climate Resilient Gardening Forum. So interesting, informative and fantastic speakers. Fan-girled on Declan my soil hero (so embarrassing). Thanks to @sustainablegardeningaustralia for putting it on and Dr Greg Moore for his honest, entertaining and wise account of so many things!

If Monty Don is up for trying it, then of course, I am too 😆

Really fun to do and I think a great activity to run with my Flourish therapeutic gardening group.

Nature weaving is one of the activities in my therapeutic horticulture program, Flourish.

Today I ran this sensory and creative activity with this wonderful group of older adults. They couldn’t have been more engaged, creative and super delightful to be with!

One of the support team told me, during other activities people can get distracted, get up and down from the table or start wandering….but today nature weaving captivated them and all stayed engaged and seated for the whole activity. 😁

Picked this up for $20 from someone who bought it years ago second hand from someone else. Awesome. ♻️

I use a combination of methods to manage slugs and snails (reducing mulch and hiding spots in wet cool seasons, barriers made from copper tape on yoghurt containers, donning my slug hunting torch and patrolling late at night 😆). I’ve trialled these sheep’s wool pellets in spring and now autumn and these are one of my favourites!

Check out all the other benefits of these awesome little wool pellets @aussiewoolpellets.

The heart is for you Sherri - you’re awesome and I’m really inspired by your attitude and your regen approach.

Ps. See an older post where I use them in my soil block recipe too.
