Did you know chicken 'blink' when they do quick head movements? Here's a slow motion video with our rooster Poofy 🐔 showing it.

I adore seeing #Bloomscrolling and #Gardening posts from the opposite hemisphere. Get me out of myself and makes me think more expansively.

Love a good neighborhood garden barter. Garlic out, lots of fresh stuff in, and not a penny exchanged.

A box of fresh veggies, including grapes, tomatoes, zucchini and a pattypan squash.

One of the other beds at my community garden has this stunning African Blue basil. It keeps its blooms longer than standard varieties, and the pollinators are loving it. This is apparently a hybrid between opal basil and camphor basil, making it sterile, but it can be a perennial, unlike its relatives. If I find out who owns the bed, I may have to ask them for a cutting. #nature #gardening #bees #herbs

Blooming African Blue basil. It has dark green leaves and dramatic purple flower spikes bearing pink flowers.

The bumblebee moved to a different flower, but has been replaced with a European honeybee that is working just as industriously.

Another angle, showing off a plump bumblebee visiting the tiny flowers.

Strawberry guava wood: not recommended for structural use, half this bush has collapsed under its own weight. Again. #gardening

The sun's rays bless our freshly planted bed of greens and radishes.

#Gardening #Allotment

a longer than wife bed of brown soil surrounded by grass. the sun is low on the horizon and lens flair makes it look like sun rays are falling on our bed in particular.

Steady rain all day has been very nice. 🌸☔️

Clusters of dozens of aster flowers — looking like purple-pink fireworks of color at the top of their green-leafed stems — are covered in tiny raindrops on a cloudy, chilly, rainy, autumn day.

Weird. There's one sunflower growing, about a foot, beans which aren't supposed to grow at this time of the year, broadbeans garlic and cauli growing, under attack by butterflies. Saw three dragonflies!

Robin, bluetits, coal tits and tree sparrows, one unidentified small grey bird, magpies and crows.

Tobacco now flowering.

The first apples from our trees this year! The variety is Rosette and they are a beautiful colour, with a sweet and sharp taste. #Gardening

A halved red apple displayed on a wooden cutting board, with a black knife positioned nearby. The inside of the apple shows a vibrant red hue and seeds.

The #Equinox made me consider the imbalance in my #gardening practice. We neglected our garden last year and it took us a long time to spring back from that. So I think I’ve overcorrected by succession planting ad infinitum because my goal is to always have something to eat in the garden. But rest is important. Fallow periods are important. In temperate climates, ppl rest in the winter. Here, the summer is a time when gardeners take a break. I need to find a middle ground. #Balance @gardening
