Am I the only one who gets a little annoyed by people who follow you and then unfollow you and then follow you again, presumably in the hope that the first three or four times that you didn't follow back were just oversights?
I only follow people and hashtags that interest me with no expectation of a follow back.
Is anyone else's black bamboo flowering this year? Hoping this young yet expensive plant isn't about to turn up its toes!

Swallowtail butterflies in the potager.
Adult le flambé/scarce swallowtail on phacelia and caterpillar of le machaon/common swallowtail on some bolting florence fennel.
This is how we garden, although allowing the pests to balance themselves is a bit difficult when some of them are wild boar and roe deer needing a healthy wolf pack to balance their numbers!!
But we do now have enough predators of slugs and snails that they've gone from a totally destructive problem to just an irritation.

Life in the garden. There are a lot of these bees with long antenna - male eucera longicornis perhaps?

Hello golden orioles!
Welcome back, you and your beautiful singing voices.
Saturday May 6th 2023 is going to be a monumental day.
I'm just can't decide whether to take part in World Naked Gardening Day or International Female Ride Day? Or combine the two!

So people on small boats have a higher level of criminality according to Braverman. Well I supose if you criminalise seeking safety then that will be true.

The romanescos have been pretty good this year, and this is the best! The end of the cauli season and the first fruit tree blossom on the peach trees happen at about the same time here.

How appropriate for #WorldWildlifeDay to find a badger asleep under the olive tree this morning!

" ...failed to recognise the growing dominance of emerging economies like India and China, which were buying the crops we wanted. But at least we had the EU and the ease of supply. And then we left it."

It must be so boring to eat the same thing all year round!
Loving leeks, cabbages, parsnips, kale, pumpkins (from store), beetroot, winter salads, Jerusalem artichokes, carrots, sweet potatoes right now.
"The protesters condemned as criminals today will be the heroes of tomorrow. One of the greatest fears of those who wield power is that judges and juries will come to see them this way."
