Stunning laburnum at @helmsleywalledgarden
Exciting times, so here's the new allotment !! It was a surprise to get it, but delighted to have the plot. Good size and in really good condition. Had it only a few weeks but been getting stuck in. It's going to be a plot full of veg, fruit and flowers
A few more from my trip to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, some bits from inside the Great Pavillion and the balcony gardens. I felt very lucky to be there on press day for my first Chelsea.

A selection of Chelsea veg. There was a good display of edibles, including on show in the Great Pavillion and in Mark Gregory's The Savills Garden
Highlights from my day at the Chelsea Flower Show - pics from the show gardens
