I’ve given myself a sore back today working in the Magic Garden but felt much happier about how it looks after a bit of a haircut and some new solar lights. I also did some running repairs to the arbour seat and a bit of re-potting of heuchera and taking cuttings.

Ben stayed around me all afternoon offering advice. I need to clear the patio clutter really and weed the leek troughs but I’m reluctant to accept the end of summer including my sunflowers.
