Hello there. Welcome to 'out of my shed'. It's a blog about gardening in London throughout the year, with a visit now and then to some fab gardens further afield.

Another joyous morning @columbiaroad flower market. Love these Araucaria heterophyllas (cousins of the Monkey Puzzle Tree, but not sure how hardy they are- we shall see!), the very appealing heart-shaped Anthurium clarinervium and of course, delicious coffee @jackgarciacoffee #sundaymornings never better than this! #flowermarket #londonmarkets #sunday #sundayvibesLove the detail! #dogsign #londonstreets #islington #streetsignGreat Dora Maar exhibition @tate Modern until 15 March #doramaar #tatemodern #whattodoinlondon #londongalleries #exhibitionstoseeinlondonHave just taken on some rather neglected gardens belonging to a block of flats, where this thuggish plant is merrily flowering away. Rather a lovely bloom for this time of year I thought, but, apart from wild garlic, and a few overgrown shrubs, this seems to have taken centre stage in all areas of the back garden. What is it I wonder? As ever, the wonderful @helenyemm @telegraph has all the answers. This attractive thug is Winter Heliotrope, aka, Petasites fragrans, a wide spreading, shade & moisture loving non-native. Helen says that it doesn’t spread by seed (phew!), so think some serious digging or may be in order. Grr. On the positive side, this looks like the perfect damp spot for a Ligularia, or two , plus some damp-shade-loving ferns. I feel quite excited about this, as most gardens I work in are just too dry for these plants. Just need to get digging......Huge thanks @cut_and_chase_press for my gorgeous REVE print- Love it, love it, love it! -plus the delicate Verbena hastata bonus print- how marvellous! #londonprinters #limitededitionprints #letterpressprinting #handsetprinting #posterdesign #wallartA very uplifting sight on a cold winter ‘s morn #snowdrops #highgate #galanthusnivalis #winterblooms #januarybloomsOlder posts

Just looking for pattern ideas for 2 hedges in my front yard. I am an amateur hedge artist.

Just wondering what kind of camera and lens you use for your beautiful photos?
Hi Bev, I use a Nikon D300 and a 18-70 f3.5-4.5 zoom. I think both body and lens are no longer available as I’ve had this equipment for some years, but I have my eye on a D700 (which you can also shoot video on) and need to research which lenses are currently out there. V.best Naomi
