I feel like snowdrops are so underrated and undervalued in the garden. Can I have a quick show of hands 🙋🏽🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏼‍♀️ as to whether you’ve got snowdrops in your garden?

As much as I love gardening TV shows I can’t help but feel that they don’t adequately represent the reality of the average gardener. It’s fine to see such huge beautiful gardens etc, but I’d love to see Gardener’s World filmed in a mid-terrace garden in the Midlands…??

The beautiful simplicity of a pansy in a pot. I do dozens and dozens of these every year in our garden, single tiny pots, each with one plug plant in. Brings so much joy in the darker months, and I love it. Say what you will about pansies, violas and the like. I love them!

When there’s so much to do in the garden and it’s feeling overwhelming - what’s one, small, manageable garden job you like to do to make you feel better about it all? For me, it’s dead heading - even just a few pots and I feel like I’ve left each pot, better than it was.

Does anyone else choose to get up too early, even at the weekend - just because it’s quiet and useful time to get stuff done?? I’ve found that the hour before everyone else is up, on a Sunday is my most productive time…need a coffee first though of course!

❓I’d love for you to help me prove something?❓ I was told today that Twitter is dead for niche communities, such as gardening, podcasting, writing etc. I disagree. Can we prove it’s still got its place for what we do by sharing this as much as poss?

An alternative Christmas message: Treat tomorrow like any other day, love those around you and those not around you anymore, but most importantly, love yourself + look after yourself. Try to have a good day, Christmas or otherwise - don’t put pressure on - go with it Adam 💚
