Another day which improved into sunshine this afternoon & I spent the afternoon in the Magic Garden. I planted out the echinacea into the border in front of the fence & the six foxgloves that I reared last autumn & another of the catnip plants - this one is a white flowered one.

Echinacea is used by herbalists to boost immunity & is often used to try and shorten the symptoms of colds & coughs. In the Magic Garden they are to attract more pollinators.

Ben is liable to over love the original catnip plants & burrows his face into it. I will keep an eye to see if it will need protection from him to survive.
