Only words I wish to send to you in ‘thanks for posting your journals and journeys, for me to visit/see in 2023 when I was lonely in middle of the night and needed heartened, and catch up on what beautiful things? There’s Uncle Bert’s Purple kale with Cavolo Nero beyond, some greyhound cabbages finally fattening up (they took their time…).

I’ll definitely grow it again, though it is fiendishly expensive and an F1 hybrid so I can’t save the seed. With two different designs and five colours to choose from, you can make a journal that suits you or a gardening friend.

Garden day: there’s Mary pruning the plum on the wall, Peter is weeding and pulling bindweed from the squash bed and putting cardboard down to help keep in the moisture and suppress more weeds. Colourful photographs of National Trust gardens can be found every month in this beautiful Gardening deluxe diary for 2023.

Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places.As always, it features wonderful full-colour plant and garden photographs from top garden photographer, Clive Nichols.
