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.
The shed is still in fairly good condition but the next job is to paint it with a wood preserver. I also need to take advantage of the good weather over the next couple of days to build a roof where the shed used to be - we use the area that was underneath the treehouse for storing, drying and seasoning logs.

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 - including basil, coriander, dill, rosemary, sage and tarragon
Rampant mint alongside the greenhouse
Chives and bay in two of the raised beds
Garage newly painted and starting to get some decoration
Buttercups flourishing alongside the garage
Meanwhile, for some rest and relaxation time, at the front of the house the weather has now been good enough to string up the hammock.

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!
