All my sunflowers have decided to face my neighbour’s fence this year and ignore me completely - plenty of privacy for bees, no aesthetic pleasure for me #sunflowers #facingthewrongway #turnaroundplease #beeheaven #gardenmishaps #summergardening

When Leeks are flowering they seem to have the physiology of a succulent- dig them up from an abandoned student plot, shove them in the back of a station wagon and then re-set in one’s garden for their beautiful allium star-ball flowers and future seed supply, no transplant shock! These Leeks also wish everyone Happy Summer Solstice! #leeks #alliumporrum #alliumflowers #notransplantshock #likeasucculent #longestday #summersolstice2017

Planting two Wampi fruit trees at Burnley today. A coffee plant got blasted by frost here this winter, I hope these trees will do better. (Note the perfect watering berms created by volunteers Tess and Amy!) #wampee #clausenalansium #tropicalfruittrees #rutaceae #plantingtrees #wateringtrees #feeltheberm #hashtagpun

What to plant ‘down the side’? An eternal gardening question...here freshly planted Taro with Rhubarb; this is on sandy loam with drip irrigation, productive enough over several years to convert my Mum to Taro as a handy, perennial staple #downtheside #shadetolerant #taro #rhubarb #colocasiaesculenta #xanthosomasagittifolium #novelcrops #novelcropsproject #panc #plantasalimentíciasnãoconvencionais #novelecosystem
