This morning’s improved photograph of the toad who lives in my greenhouse 🐸 🌱

This is the toad who lives in my greenhouse 🐸
Seems like a very strange (sometimes very hot) place for a toad to want to live in but it’s been there for well over three months now. I have to be very careful when hoeing between the plants because it’s often completely buried in a well-camouflaged burrow which occasionally moves location.
I’ve been trying to get a better photograph but it’s fairly timid and makes a dash for cover whenever it notices me 😄

Gardening Diary 🌱 — 📅 23rd April 2021
In July 2011 my father-in-law built a treehouse for our children.
(Apologies for the quality of the photo - it was taken with an old Blackberry 9300 mobile phone)
Now, nearly 10 years later, the children have long outgrown such things. Having a shed up in a tree wasn’t too practical or convenient so (finally!) over the last couple of days I have dismantled, relocated and reconstructed it.
It took me considerably longer to dismantle and get down from the tree than it did to rebuild.

Gardening Diary 🌱 — 📅 24th February 2021 — Three wasabi plants I planted in May last year have exploded into activity. Wasn’t expecting such vigorous growth and flowering so early in the year, especially after/during some very cold and wet weather.

Vegetables: Riverford Organic Farmers 🌱
Using my submission to this week’s Flickr FlickrFriday theme #Vegetables in praise of Riverford Organic Farmers. Photo is of our vegetable box delivered at 6:30am this morning, as it is every Monday. We’ve been Riverford customers for over 10 years but their deliveries during the current COVID-19 lockdown have been invaluable. They have maintained high quality service and continued to provide excellent produce throughout this period.

Gardening Diary 🌱 — 📅 25th May 2020
After years of neglect we’ve been trying to improve and actually make use of the area of garden behind our house.
I should really have taken some ‘before’ photographs but here are a few details in pictures of progress so far.
Sun terrace 😀
Oregano bed and compost bin
Thyme planted in a rusty wheelbarrow!
Small raised beds cleared and dug over ready for planting
Greenhouse, which still definitely needs some repair, semi-tidied and an attempt at seed germination started - …

Always get a crop of various fungi (mushrooms? toadstools?) in our garden during late summer and autumn. Wish I had the knowledge and confidence to decide if any of them were edible … but I don’t!
