Filthy Beds & Fine Blooms

11/10/2026

Yesterday I had the MOST fun plant shopping for .

This week i'm filling all their planters and giving some love to their gorgeous space.
I wanted evergreens for all round colour, wispy grasses, rich colours and ground cover plants.
Colourful low maintenance hanging baskets. Less space, less weeds.

They will also have low maintenance trees down their walkway where they can change the decor with the seasons.
I will upkeep these and change colour with the seasonal bedding plants and bulbs.
I can't wait to get all this down there and start playing 🌺❤️.
Thank you and

Whoops! I may have just received my sleep purchase of bulbs from 🥴🤣.

Totally forgot I bought them but wow so glad I did.

Clearly my sleep brain didn't feel I had enough purple in my garden already😫🤪 but hey, who am I to argue🤷‍♀️.

Aren't these just stunning, and now I'm just going to have to sleep purchase some orange and yellow bulbs to go with them.

Thank you Mr Posty💜

⭐️⭐️⭐️Oh my goodness⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you thank you thank you so much everybody

We are just under £200 short of £2000 in our fundraiser for Sue ⭐️ Ryder in memory of our beautiful and wonderful friend Tricia Glaves

Tonight we are heading out under the stars, on our own Starlight Hike route.

The event was permanently cancelled by the venue last year after predicted bad weather (which didn't actually happen ) which was really really sad and we felt so sorry for Sue Ryder

We decided to still go out on a route organised by the wonderful Hannah Joy Ogden and we were the highest fundraising group

Since then, Sue Ryder thought it was such a great idea that they took the idea on!

So we will be independently walking in our light up tutus glow sticks and purple this evening

If you have a spare few pounds that you can spare for this wonderful charity and get us up to £2000 we would all love you forever

Thank you thank you thank you💜

Well hello fresh flower Friday

Nothing like cutting from your own garden

However I can honestly say, and I know I keep going on about it, but the one plant to grow from seed for next year now is a Corbea!

I grew about 24 seeds and got 8 plants

At one point I didn't think any of them were going to survive

I planted three 3, gave the others to friends

I really didn't think these were going to come too much but look at this monster!

There are actually plants under there but I've just let it do its thing so I know and I am prepared for next year!

It's a vigourous climber and will quite easily cover your fence!

It is an annual but I'm going to see how and if it seeds itself

It's all about experimentation folks

Butt cutting these flowers from the garden made me feel like a fairy😂
Dahlia
Eucalyptus
Zinnia
Love lies bleeding ❤️

Get out into your garden folks and sow the seeds

A little bit of joy before I take my car to the garage, I got too close to an exceedingly high curb last night during a late night three point turn ,and I am now minus a wheel arch and have a broken left-hand corner

I'm just going to look at my flowers a little longer😬

I've been working on this garden giving it a good clear... it was Sooo hot and then it was sooo wet!

All the grass that I cleared, went to seed !

If I had wanted to cultivate a lawn it wouldn't have worked but LOOK😱.

I'm currently laying cardboard collected from the Whittlesey Community Pantry for ground cover and laying bark bit by bit.

My advice to everybody clearing gardens

If your want weeds to stay away, get cover down wether it's bark or plants or both

You know I love a plant, fill your gardens folks
Less room for the weeds to see the sun!

Bloody weeds!!!😱🤣

The unmistakable noise of a klippy cloppy dog paw 🤣. Are you bored of my corbea yet? Sorry not sorry. I'm still mesmerised by where it's going😂. Just a few things of colour still in my garden, the heat was not good on lots of my flowering perennials, but they look like they are recovering now . I went to yesterday and came back with these complete bargains! So in the ground they go for next year! It's been a busy weekend for me. How about you? Have you had any garden time?
