A popular plant at #RHSChelsea was Cirsium. It was on several gardens incl Warner's Distillery Garden. I was glad to see it so much as I'd already added it to a new border at home - on trend for once! It's attracting #pollinators, next to teasels & tall grasses. #gardening

Erigeron karvinskianus - the mexican fleabane - will seed itself everywhere! But with its pink and white daisy flowers, a very useful plant for decorating walls, and filling any gaps - just plant one in one gap and it will soon fill in all the others! #gardening #selfseeders

@GrowLikeGrandad I must recommend #NorthWales. #Snowdonia full of stunning scenery. Coastline between Aberdovey and Anglesey especially beautiful, and just south of Llandudno is @BodnantGardenNT which is amazing.

Lupins are vulnerable to slugs and snails when their foliage first emerges but if you can protect them they make a great centre piece in a border by late May and June. #gardening #lupins

How do you like my new low cost natural, organic, 3-tier water feature? Recent rain has collected at the base of each set of leaves on this Teasel plant, creating little ponds on multiple levels.

Can anyone tell me what this is? Please let me know if you recognise it. #plantidentification #plantID

I do love the native welsh poppy and I don't mind it seeding itself all over the garden. But these ones that have decided to grow through my box hedges are on borrowed time because in a couple of weeks I'll be trimming the box and they'll get the chop! #selfseeding #gardening

@Saralimback @SLeguil and all those support/protective tubes look like they're made of plastic too - which is another great way to help the environment!!

Plenty of flowers in the #frontgarden right now. Most are in pots, and it's a bit of a jumble, but only the orange native welsh poppies self seeding has spoiled my carefully colour co-ordinated scheme! #gardening #containergardening #springflowers

Medals day at #RHSChelsea, but the judges are looking for all sorts of things that I'm not, so I don't mind who wins what. I'm just interested in how the gardens make me feel. https://t.co/RxVPqMaem5

NEW BLOG! Time to clear away the purple sprouting broccoli - I need some more space for carrots, parsnips and beetroot. #growyourown #allotment #kitchengarden #croprotation

The main reason to enjoy growing photinia is the bright red colour of new shoots as they appear. But they offer flowers too. Established ones are looking like clouds of white smoke all over #Cardiff at the moment, as the flower clusters cover the plant. #gardening #springflowers
