So here’s the results of today’s #gardening 🌱 It’s been a lot of weeding. The dahlias are now visible.
We had a very welcome visitor in the garden last night. Fingers crossed they are hunting for the baby rabbits that have started to appear and are currently my number one pain in the garden. #FoxOfTheDay #WildlifeCamera

🌿☕ What do you think this delphinium looks like 🐬?
Yup, a dolphin
The word delphinium comes from the Ancient Greek delphínion or delphis 🐬
Botanists including Carl Linnaeus, adopted the New Latin genus name as the spurred shape of the unopened flower buds resemble a dolphin's nose or curved body🌊

Flaming June? Definitely not at the moment ⛈️
A rather rain battered delphinium 🌱
Home grown vegetables soon 😋🌱 Courgettes are so versatile.
Foxgloves on Friday including one that is best friends with an allium. 🌱 #FlowersOnFriday #BloomScrolling
