Hello. I forgot to let people in this page know that I have packed in the gardening and gone to Thailand indefinitely.

I don’t know what job I will take up when I get home but I don’t think I’ll be gardening anymore.

It has been a great job and I have been very privileged in meeting many lovely people. It has been a great pleasure and honour to be able to help them and who knows maybe I’ll pick up the hedge trimmer again in the future. I hope I haven’t trimmed my last shrub!

Some nice flowers I saw the other day👇

1st time in almost 4 years of gardening I’ve been stung by a wasp. Never been bitten or stung by anything while working. Walked right into a wasps nest yesterday 😬

Always so amazing to see. There is nothing like a tomato fresh off the vine.
Everyone should grow a tomato plant at least once in their life

Picked up this tall handsome devil the other day. An unwanted stowaway in someone’s borders. Planted him up in some beautiful homemade compost, hopefully he thrives and I can find him a nice home.

I believe he is a Mexican orange blossom. Definitely an orange blossom… maybe Mexican

Bloody plum tree fell over right as the fruit was ripening.

It was leaning for a long time and we didn’t prune it last year so it just got too big. We are going to leave it for the fruit to ripen and then see if we can cut it back and lift it back into place but hopefully straight… we will see how that goes

Terrible pictures but a good fence!
Always very satisfying work.
