Today has been a wonderful sunny day. Ben and I spent the afternoon in the garden. I caught up with some more potting on of tomatoes and planted an anthemis kelwayi on the far side of the pond. I also planted up my remaining terracotta pots with a ginger rosemary and a ginger mint (slight theme going on!) and a fresh lemon verbena. The scented geraniums also needed potting into bigger pots ready for their summer outdoors.

My black kale seedlings are surviving much to my surprise with no evidence yet of snail / slug damage Difficult to tell whether this is the sheep’s wool or because they don’t smell nice or even if the remaining leeks are putting them off! Hopefully they won’t attack the butternut squashes or courgettes either
