It has been a lovely sunny Saturday if somewhat cold. I am tired so have had a quiet day enjoying the Magic Garden with Ben. I emptied out the cold frame of the aquilegia I sowed last autumn, more foxgloves & red achillea (Cerise Queen). The latter are destined for the front garden as I have a large one in the Magic Garden already. I’m thinking of putting the foxgloves along the back fence. I’m hoping the aquilegia will bulk up quickly to match those already in the garden.

I sat in the Magic Garden to enjoy the sunshine in my garden rocking chair looking across the garden. Ben was quite keen to be around me while I was outside although I think some of that was optimism about when I might be persuaded to feed him.

The cold frame is currently stuck in the side passage & I was surprised that Ben thought it made for a good place to perch & relieved he is not any heavier. There is a tub of tulips round there & I was surprised that one was out, even more so as it was white rather than the red & yellow flowers.
