The pond was super low and the water was all filmy. Best guess, the water dropped enough that the birds felt happy enough to get right in, splash about and empty it further. I refilled it up over the beach, so now it’s wait and see.

I sowed a half row each of beetroot and carrot. The whole bed is now under cover to protect it.

The Veronica has now made an appearance, so I took down all the dead stalks. From there I weeded more of the left border, taking out cress and grass. That bed’s about done now.

I wasn’t able to resist plants at the garden centre sale, so I’ve added 3 heucheras to the fern bed. From left to right: Leuchtafer, Coral bells, Ruby bells.

We put the  runner bean and cucumber wigwams up and took another branch off the apple tree, which had some scab.

I weeded about half the ledge and discovered a couple of smalls pieces of Californian poppy. I thought they were gone, so hopefully they’ll survive.
