The snails and aphids celebrate in the summer rain

The summer showers welcome some hungry pests into the garden, just as the Rose and the French Beans are about to put on a show.

I've been #planting some more #bulbs today. The #garden is quite wet, but at least it's not raining or so cold (actually, I'm feeling a bit fluey, so no idea what the real temperature is). #snowdrops are in (such an important early #flower alongside the #crocus, as the #bees can use it for food. Also planted out the #allium bulbs, and the dark blue #tulips. The bright and cheery tulips will go out the front another day . . . . . #gardening #gardener #garden #digforvictory #growyourown #flowers #pretty #instagardeners #inmygarden #mygarden

Nipped out for a bit of #pruning in the #garden.

Still on the pull! The wonderful smell of freshly #pulled #homegrown #carrots 😍 . . . . . #gardening #gardener #garden #digforvictory #growyourown #vintage #veggies #freshveg #healthyfood #healthyeating #instagardeners #gardening

Lightly turning some #soil over with the #fork and #spade. Loads of #worms in here, as well as 50bn tons of stinking cat shit. Whilst I was digging my own cat came along to add some more and my lungs almost fell out 😫. . . . . #digforvictory #digging #gardening #gardener #garden #instagardeners #dig #growyourownfood #growityourself

And there we go... Yet more #courgette and Cheddar #soup. 😛

It's #soup weather, so I'm using up some of the oversized #courgettes to make some more #courgette and Cheddar soup (see @bbcgoodfood for #recipe). . . . . . #freshveg #zuchinni #healthyfood #healthyeating #homemade #cooking
