I’ve been a bit on the busy side today and conscious that I’m going north again tomorrow so have done some major watering and will need to do some more before going north tomorrow. I also got round to planting out some stray plants that will hopefully settle in while I’m away. In the north quadrant I planted a stray from the front garden and am bemused at how much slug damage it has already sustained.

I planted out a silver feather centaurea today - I am looking forward to seeing its pink flowers in the west quadrant. Its filling in a gap and I’ve moved a lavender to make it fit better. Hopefully the lavender will do better too as it was too much in the shade before and hadn’t settled into the ground.

Overall I have to say Ben’s attitude to the Magic Garden is relaxed! I’m pleased he leaves the catnip plants alone mainly and there are several getting well established including this one in the north quadrant.
