I have had a busy day in & out the Magic Garden. First thing I took a picture from top of the house so I could see where the spaces are in the borders. I am amazed by how quickly everything is growing now & by the constant changing look of the garden as the perennials come back into life. I then spent several hours finishing off painting the fences, the back border edgings and the cold frame. I took the opportunity to rearrange the pots again and to move the raspberries as far away as possible from the potato sacks - raspberries & potatoes should not be grown near each other or so I was told when I had an allotment. It seemed to be true there!

I am very pleased with the grey of the fences - its a bit darker than I intended but I think will weather down quickly & I like the green against it.

The pulmonaria is looking lovely & I think is happier for getting more sunlight. Along with getting some more heuchera I plan to get some more pulmonaria for this back corner.

The goldfinches look lovely against the grey fence and its good to see them enjoying the nigella seeds that I had bought with them in mind. The pigeons seem to really like them too.
