The one where flowers bring a sea of colours to the garden.

I finally have a #lupin that's managed to survive being fried by the #sunshine, eaten by #slugs and sucked dry by #aphids and #blackfly (so far). It looks great. . . . . #gardening #gardener #garden #mygarden #inmygarden #instagardeners #flowers #beefriendly #growsome #flowerstagram #flower #plants #plantlife #pretty #lupins #pink

The #bees cannot leave these #foxgloves alone today. I'm burning up in the #sunshine so I'll leave them to it. . . . . #gardening #gardener #garden #mygarden #inmygarden #instagardeners #flowers #beefriendly #growsome #flowerstagram #flower #plants #plantlife #pretty #wildflowers #digitalis

I don't wanna be no #gooseberry fool. Fingers crossed my first #harvest happens before the birds decide they can't wait any longer . . . . #fruity #softfruit #gooseberries #growityourself #growyourownfood #healthyeating #healthyfood #growsome #gardening #gardener #garden #mygarden #inmygarden #instagardeners #fruit

My #welsh #onion always keeps growing and flowering. I don't have the heart to use it 😂. It's #selfsown now though, resulting in some randomly positioned #seedlings. . . . . #herb #herbs #herbgarden #gardening #gardener #garden #mygarden #inmygarden #instagardeners #flower #healthyfood #healthyeating #growsome #growityourself #growyourownfood #digforvictory

In this box there is about 50 #ladybird #larvae - tiny little black bugs that look like pests. They are to the tons of #aphids on my roses, and are a welcome new resident in my garden. They're annoyingly super resistant to leaving this box and getting onto anything that is a plant, but they fortunately came with some little paper bags, which you can gently tip some in and then I've clothes pegged them onto the rose. They'll climb out (as they cannot fly) and climb the #rosebuds where they'll find lots of food to munch before pupating over the next few weeks into the black and red #ladybirds that we know and love. I bought these online from that river forest area named retailer. . . . . #predator #bugs #ladybird #garden #greenfly #aphid #buffet #gardening #gardener #roses #mygarden #inmygarden #instagardeners #flowers #flowerstagram #growityourself #bugslife

My #foxgloves (#digitalis) are very happy and the #bees are going crazy for them. . . . . . #gardening #gardener #garden #mygarden #inmygarden #instagardeners #flowers #beefriendly #growsome #flowerstagram #flower #plants #plantlife #pretty #wildflowers #shade #selfsown
