A bit of alternative #BloomScrolling.. look at these lovely knitted #Nasturtiums - they are in the quirky toilets at our local theatre. #knitting #crafting #flowers

@deepmud good question but answer is no! We have a community allotment but also run a #CommunityFridge so give out and swap lots of plants, seeds and gardening equipment alongside the food. We're also doing a tea/coffee and cake fundraiser next weekend so will have some plants for sale. Loads of #teazels #nasturtiums #calendula self seeded on our allotment so will sell those too.

Are there ever enough nasturtiums in the garden? I would say no.

Trollius laxus and Nasturtium from “The New Botanic Garden” Sydenham Edwards, 1812–and Nasturtium by Maurice Verneuil, 1896

#November 19, 1937
The #Canadian #botanist and #writer Julia Henshaw died.
She wrote about wildflowers.
Her peers at the #Vancouver Sun newspaper called her "Gentle Julia."
In a November column, she wrote:

Taken altogether, the #garden is making a brave showing.
One thing I am sorry to note, all my best #nasturtiums whose #seeds should have lain dormant till the #spring, are already turned into little #plants three inches high.

Is anyone else unsettled by this warm weather?

I harvested the last of our #sweetcorn at our #allotment today, as well as #nasturtiums. It all feels out of sync.

We lost quite a bit of the fruit from our trees this year due to the drought-like conditions, but we're looking forward to #wassailing them in January. Hoping for a better crop next year. 🌳

Came down to the plot with the good intention of raking off the beds to apply the annual compost duvet. I just can't bring myself to do it whilst everything is still growing, flowering and supporting the plotfolk. #hyssop #Nasturtiums #Calendula #Verbena #Borage
November!
