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!!๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŒฑโš˜โ˜€๏ธ #notthatginger

Good morning Easter Sunday! A Bee Bowl is a one-time investment that keeps on giving. I'm putting ours together from the materials we bought last year. โ˜ฎ๏ธ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ #HelpTheBees
A quick and easy way to #HelpTheBees during warm weather - make a bee bowl! These are great because bees need to drink, but they can drown in deep or fast-flowing water sources. Here's how to set up one up: bit.ly/2KQesqp ๐Ÿ

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 it๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸŒพ)!! I finally have flowers starting now though! ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒผ #wildflowers #environment

In my obsession to maximise polytunnel space @AyrshireFoodHub, I'm training the tomatoes along the support beams and ahem ropes Cue hilarity getting them to grow the way I want! (And me on tip toes to tie rope,bumping my head on overhanging tomatoes..) #gardening #tomatoes
