"For all its material advantages, the sedentary life has left us edgy and unfulfilled. Even after 400 generations in villages and cities, we haven’t forgotten: the open road still softly calls like a nearly forgotten song of childhood." ~ Carl Sagan

We've teamed up with @anyagardenfairy and @Gardener_jamie to create the RHS Money-Saving Garden at #RHSHamptonCourt! The garden will show which plants can give the best long-term value for money, while supporting wildlife and helping the planet 🌱 rhs.org.uk/shows-events/rhs-…

I don't want to appear pedantic, but those are not Primroses (Primula vulgaris), but rather garden escaped Polyanthas (Primula x polyantha). Primroses have almost straight-tapered leaf margins (left), but the hybrid has some of the 'shoulder' from P. veris leaves (right).

Exciting finding today 🤩: #Septoria of common polypody (#Polypodium vulgare) caused by #Mycosphaerella asperulata, with clusters of perithecia 90-120 µm and immature asci 45 x 12 µm (Les Clayes-sous-Bois, FR). Reported in Sweden (Holm & Holm, 1979) but apparently not in France.
