Saturday

Its very windy here today so we shall see if the tomato house survives! Meantime I planted out some more peas, picked some raspberries & blackcurrants, added some salad and thought about the next crop. I also picked some of my lovely sweetpeas to keep them blooming and to scent the house.

Thursday

Work and life continue to keep me out of the Magic Garden. I have though picked gooseberries, broad beans and blackcurrants and spent a few moments enjoying the insects again.

Sunday

Its been warm and humid here and eventually we had thundery rain. The garden looks happier for its quick drink. Ben stayed out in it and seemed to enjoy getting damp!

Saturday

Its warm and sticky here today. I’ve done a bit of tidying up, some watering and a lot of enjoying the Magic Garden today and Ben has been in the middle of it

Saturday

I’ve been busy watering again and hoping that the rain dance will produce more than the few drops so far offered.I am picking broad beans. everyday now.

Wednesday

I’ve been at work today while its been hot and sunny. Ben was rather pleased to come and sit outside once I was home and we sat and enjoyed doing a bit of nothing

Tuesday

Hot (well, by NE coast standards!) and dry still here. The Magic Garden is full of hoverflies, bees and insects. Ben and I have spent as much time as possible outside

Saturday

Its been a lovely day here although not that hot unlike our southern and western friends! Nevertheless I’ve been outdoors most of the day. I’ve tidied up the front garden and then sat & enjoyed the Magic Garden.

Wednesday

We’ve still got cold grey weather. Ben went out briefly while I took photographs and did a little watering. The pink of the ‘domesticated’ blackberry blooms and the rose at the back of the garden were catching my eye this afternoon - both have delicate pretty blooms.

Monday

The sun briefly came out late this afternoon. Ben and I enjoyed a brief spell sitting in the Magic Garden and I took the opportunity to photograph more bees.
