Today felt like a bit of a bonus as I had rather expected it to rain. It wasn’t sunny but I was able to get on and do a lot of the wee jobs that just take a few minutes but stack up a little. I planted a Heuchera Tokyo and added a Bacopa Barostps Golden Leaves into the edging mix together with the dainty little red leaved clover. I sowed as an experiment some parsnip (Gladiator) seeds into a container - the depth should be good but I’ve never tried to do this before so am not sure there will be enough space for the plants to develop. I’ve sown a few more between the cauliflowers that are doing quite well currently.

I added more copper tape around the troughs to try and deter the slug / snail population from chewing my vegetable collection. I fear my wee carrots might getting cropped before they truly get going. I added feed from the hotbin to waterings of all the soft fruit bushes and apple trees.

Ben has spent a lot of the day in the Magic Garden with me again today and spent quite sometime attacking his catnip and looking as if he was watching mice. I know from the tracker camera that there are plenty around so maybe he’s waiting for them to have nibbled on the catnip too for extra flavour!
