St Gertrude is the patron saint of gardening and cats so is I suppose the patron saint of Ben’s Magic Garden. I’ve come home for a long weekend so am worrying about the Magic Garden and my seedlings & baby plants already. I hate being away at this time of year but have promised myself a trip to a local plant nursery to compensate in advance from any losses incurred through my absence!

I can still plan for the future & I would love to have some erythroniums & more pulmonaria
