Not sure where my brain is at when seeing the word gingers,I wondered why the Edinburgh botanics have a display about redheads!?

I'm blaming it on too much walking. Although very pleasant enjoying the gardens in this weather and not working in it!!😁🌱⚘☀️

I've started a bucket @AyrshireFoodHub with coffee grounds from our cafe, ideal for using in the garden. Just bring a tub😃

Sooo, a tub I left to collect rainwater on one of the partnering sites @AyrshireFoodHub caught me this wee guy 🐸

It now has a brick for future wee creatures to escape

@MiniRidley @AyrshireFoodHub Lol forgot to post the photos! It is amazing watching them grow 😁🌱

The dry whether this year has meant it's taken forever for my wildflower area at @AyrshireFoodHub to start flourishing (with help from my volunteers to weed it👩‍🌾)!!

I finally have flowers starting now though! 🌱🌸🌼

@brownjulie04 @AyrshireFoodHub The colour does look bizarre, my mum couldn't get past the fact they aren't normal tomato red and gave me her crop of them!🤣😁

[tracy norman @verde79]

@brownjulie04 @AyrshireFoodHub Not that many of the weird looking Black Russian tomatoes are making it past the staff, to the customers! 🤣

Wish I actually liked fresh tomatoes,I'm missing out 🍅😭
