Meet Solomon and Smudge 🖤🖤 Sol we deliberately brought home on Friday, and he's the most adorable pup! Smudge just showed up out of nowhere in the garden two days later. With Maggie, Josie, Comet, and Portia, that now makes a six-pet household. Total madhouse 😂

Such a satisfying garden task! Yes, these are a type of opium poppy, and yes, it's OK to grow them for harvesting poppyseeds. In the USA, they're called Breadseed Poppies (or Oriental poppies) and the seeds are commonly available to grow. Here's one excellent place to buy them 👉 tidd.ly/45Kolki

Exciting news 😍 BBC's Escape to the Country visited my garden! We filmed a lovely segment about my move to the Isle of Man and creating a bountiful garden. I'm not sure when it will be out, but likely this autumn - I'll share a link when it's available to watch on the iPlayer. This is also the reason that there's no video today :)

We're on our first holiday with Josie in the Peak District! Lots of amazing walks, quaint stone cottages, and pretty gardens. Here's a few! There's also no new video this weekend, but I'll be back soon 🙂
