@TheSensoryCoach Hi, thanks so much for pledging. I’m sorry to say though, I didn’t raise enough funds for Unbound to publish this book. So unfortunately it won’t be happening but you should be able to get a refund by contacting Unbound. I’ve just emailed them too to chase this up.

@lizwoolly Thanks Liz 😊

Any idea what type of beetle this is munching on my flowers? #Entomology

Today we tried out some of @Simon_Akeroyd gardening tips such as making mini greenhouses out of milk bottles and our own stick hanging basket. H said “I can do this at home” J said “Let’s plant strawberries in our baskets” 🌿 #engagingwithnature

It’s all starting to look peachy in my kitchen garden.
Peach blossom awaiting some bees to pollinate it. 🥰

A bed of colourful autumnal leaves in my garden in Devon 😍

I’m not convinced those tiny bananas above my impressive banana flower are going to ripen anymore. Not since the temperatures have taken a slight dip 🤪#BananaPlants #EnglishRiviera

My cranberries are ripening up nicely in the garden. Almost ready for harvesting to make into #CranberrySauce

Just planted up three more strawberry beds. You can never have too many strawberry plants (according to the person who was selling me the strawberry plants!)

Would you like some ‘free’ clean, fresh air? It’s easy to grow 😊

Handy if you are clearing moss off your drive or patio at the moment.(avoid taking moss from countryside)

Clean air is so important…we’re only human!

Dahlia delights around the back of our wild winery. We have loads of different ones. Many of them are unnamed cultivars grown from seed 😍 #totnes #devon #dahlia
