Matt ElleryNew blog: The Wiltshire Cycleway (Part 1)I went for a solo, fully loaded cycle tour of Wiltshire and Somerset.

Peter SketchWent to the local park this morning looking for flowers with their <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/PollinatorPals" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#PollinatorPals</a> - this is Hemp Agrimony with a rather large hoverfly.

Artists GardenOh, I have been lazy again with my social media … This border is planted with ornamental grasses, biennials and perennials - and also home to self sown biennials (Evening primrose, Teasels behind in the grass meadow) and annuals (Poppies, Corncockle).

Peter SketchThis was an exciting find. A new species for the ever-growing list of plants that have sown themselves into the cracks in the paving of my driveway. Hemp Agrimony.

Artists GardenThe bottom of the garden. Confusingly, the garden slopes *up* towards the bottom. Bottom left the pond. The brick construction on the right is what we call the folly. Bees, other insects, birds and pond dwelling individuals love it. So do I. Planted to feel and look natural, wild, full and overflowing.

Peter SketchBecause of the <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/HarebellChallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#HarebellChallenge</a> I went to a nearby <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/Wiltshire" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Wiltshire</a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/WildlifeTrust" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#WildlifeTrust</a> reserve which I expected to have them, Clout's Wood. It has a nice chalky grassland hillside which I'm sure I've seen them on before. Not a hint of them. However the Woolly Thistle population was having a good year and there were hundreds of those.

Peter SketchThere was supposed to be a <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/HarebellChallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#HarebellChallenge</a> for <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/WildflowerHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#WildflowerHour</a> this week. Harebells are a bit tricky to find in <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/Swindon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Swindon</a>, but the two common Campanula species the grow on walls are everywhere in Old Town. Well, usually. This year's been so dry it was hard to find one in flower.
