Violets…

Tiny, purple violet flowers blooming inside a garden container among their dark green, heart-shaped leaves and scattered, dried brown twigs on a cloudy evening — their colors so calm and soothing.

Part of growing raspberries is having raspberry suckers pop up everywhere. Why did it take me until today to realize I could harvest leaves for tea while weeding raspberries out of the paths, lettuce, peas, asparagus, potato bed...?

Photo of a tray of young raspberry leaves. They come in sets of 3 serrated leaflets and are yellow-green on top and silvery underneath. Some are still crinkled up, not fully unfurled.

They also grew the turnips for tonight’s turnip greens

From seed to tortilla!

My kids grew corn (maize) from seed, made masa, and then made tortillas!

A close-up of a mound of yellow dough on a gray baking tray. The texture appears crumbly and slightly coarse.

Two types of flatbreads (tortillas) are positioned on a flat surface. The left one is round and slightly thicker, while the right one is larger, thinner, and has uneven edges.

Afternoon garden — hyacinths and tulips.

A cluster of blooming pink flowers on the central stem of a hyacinth plant growing out of its green leaves near the ground, with a white hyacinth blurred in the background, both growing in a patch of green grass on a cloudy afternoon.

A cluster of tulip plants in the garden with a few stems and buds emerging from their wavy, green, spear-shaped leaves. One magenta-red tulip flower near the front is just beginning to open on this cloudy April afternoon.

My next door neighbour, who's in her late eighties, asked me to replace the top of the old side table she uses to stand her bay tree on, as it was rotten through. Do you think she'll notice what I've replaced it with? #ContainerGardening #GardeningUK #Gardening

A small collection of potted plants in the corner of a tiny backyard against old white-washed walls. The bay tree at the back is soon to be hidden behind foliage - hopefully! 😁

Building a #wildlife #pond out of half a barrel surrounded by circular gabion using recycled slate. Testing barrel for waterproofness and within a day, there's a pond skater!

Cute little moment today. I love all my bees and happy that I chose the right flowers last year AND managed to get most of them through winter so they're now blooming already and feeding the wild bees nesting on my balcony.

Spring is undoubtedly my favourite time of year. This group of narcissi never fail to bloom through the grass in what used to be a flower bed.
