Another disappointingly chilly day!
Sunday
We’ve had a lot more rain and its continued chilly but today its been dry & not quite so cold - still not the weather August is renown for.I spent the afternoon cutting back the back greenery.
Thursday
It has a bad habit of raining a lot at the moment. The Magic Garden is looking rather fabulous though.
Tuesday
I was working at home today which gave me an opportunity to get out and record the insects
Monday
Its wet again today - Ben explored briefly before coming in and drying his paws on me. I’m quite pleased that the new plants I put in yesterday will have received a good watering in.
Achillea New Vintage Red
Salvia Nemorosa Purple
Verbena
Stachys
Salvia East Friesland
Curry plant
Sunday
Did quite a bit of work in the Magic Garden clearing a space under the wee oak tree and then planting into it
Saturday
I’m tired today but enjoyed a few minutes in the Magic Garden, having watered the tomatoes and admired the growing courgettes
Thursday
We’re still getting frequent wetness so the Magic Garden has a habit of looking a bit bedraggled. I have an excellent crop of redcurrants but I don’t think I’ll get many more broadbeans as the slugs & snails have moved in.
Wednesday
Long day at work followed by just a few moments enjoying my Magic Garden
The courgettes are doing ok despite the coolness of the weather and I have hopes of a late pea crop
Tuesday
More heavy rain today and thunder too! It does not feel like July but the Magic Garden is thriving.
The Next Monday!
I’ve spent a week away from home and in the meantime its rained ++ and turned into a jungle. It was a bit too chilly to sit and enjoy the Magic Garden this evening after work.
Monday
I caught a few moments in the Magic Garden this morning before driving over to North Wales.
Sunday
More of a gap than usual in blogging reflecting the busyness of life! Its windy here today and not very warm. So far the tomato house survives but several things have blown over and the garden is assuming a bit of a battered look
Thursday
Today I’ve picked peas, blackcurrants & gooseberries before watering the tomatoes, cucumbers & new plants and watched the insects
Tuesday
Another busy day - windy but mainly day and warm
Monday
As soon as I came home from work, it started to rain! The birds are trying to remind me to fill the feeders.
Sunday
Not much sunshine today but plenty of warmth
Saturday
Both soft fruit and slugs are coming on well.
Friday evening
Its been a busy week hence the lack of my photographs the last few days. This evening its warm and sunny so I have been out with a watering can and also filled the pond up a bit too. I have some beautiful blueberries.
Tuesday
I’ve had a busy day interrupted by far too many rain showers! I’m currently rather proud of the vegetable troughs as I’ve had a really good crop of broad beans and have started on the courgettes. I’m in a continual war state with the snails and slugs in the garden - copper tape and sheep wool pellets are perhaps better than nothing but they still get through.
