@GardensHour I heard that on Radio 4 this morning, and here at least, I can well believe it. We haven’t had much rain for months #GardensHour

[Jon Butler @PygmyCreative]

@deniascot @GardensHour Well all that is true! #GardensHour

[Jon Butler @PygmyCreative]

@GardensHour I think my biggest highlight for May (& the year so far) is how well the grapevines I look after are doing. They’re enjoying the sun and fruiting well this year #GardensHour

[Jon Butler @PygmyCreative]

@GardensHour I think the word for May would be DRY! But highlights would be the tulips #GardensHour

@GardensHour Here in Bucks it’s meant go up to 29/30 next week, so I think water (or lack thereof) will be on the minds of many gardeners #GardensHour

[Jon Butler @PygmyCreative]

@GardensHour Thanks!

[Jon Butler @PygmyCreative]

@judy_cassells @GardensHour Not 2am thankfully, but sometimes it’s a sudden evening rush! #GardensHour Always looking at the temperature forecast at the moment

[Jon Butler @PygmyCreative]

@GardensHour That sounds exciting #GardensHour

[Jon Butler @PygmyCreative]

@GardensHour Very tricky start to the year. Some very warm days, very cold nights but still very little rain #GardensHour

[Jon Butler @PygmyCreative]

@GardensHour Yep, going down to zero tonight. Brrr #GardensHour

[Jon Butler @PygmyCreative]

@judy_cassells @GardensHour Black Parrot? Mine have done ok this year but I do have different tulips each year as there are so many lovely ones to choose from! #GardensHour

[Jon Butler @PygmyCreative]

@GardensHour The Force will be with you #GardensHour . Always

[Jon Butler @PygmyCreative]

@GardensHour Luminous beings are we. Not this crude matter. Tree Peony flowers opening up nicely now #GardensHour #StarWarsDay

[Jon Butler @PygmyCreative]

@GardensHour “This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them.” Tree lillies are coming on well. #GardensHour #StarWarsDay

[Jon Butler @PygmyCreative]

@Daphne_Meadows_ Hmm. Judge me by my size would you? #GardensHour

[Jon Butler @PygmyCreative]

@GardensHour The X-wing like foliage of Euphorbia lathyris. Usually classed as a weed but in my opinion she’s got it where it counts #GardensHour #StarWarsDay
