I did all the strimming this morning, and then had to run home to pay the reservation fee on the house! Magically, the fork I left on  the plastic overnight wasn’t stolen by a crow.

In the afternoon I did a mow on 2 and tried to go on 1 too. I managed the main and back paths, but it kept stopping, so I just need to get the big mower on it, otherwise I’m never going to win.

I saw the robins feeding their baby on the fence. The baby also tried out the traditional perch of my open shed door.Since putting the bamboo back in the bee hotel lots of holes have filled up.

Some new bulbs have appeared in Bed 3. I think that they’re the little gladioli. So I’ve got some good successional colour in that bed.

The fern bed is looking good. I hope to recreate a bit of this in the new garden.

The alliums have turned out to be pretty stout and stable. One in the ledge had fallen over, but that’s because the bulb was trying to escape, so I buried it in compost.
