A short post-work visit to check things before tomorrow’s work. I’d left a tray of nasturtiums out all week, but they had magically survived. So I’ve planted them in Beds 6 and 9, with a couple in Bed 1 and one in the left border by the Bidens.

The fern bed is still looking great. A few volunteers and weeds have come up, but one frondy one looks very fitting, so that can certainly stay.

The pond is still all good and the bird bowl is clearly being used in my absence – as evidenced by the damn bank at that end of the pond. I’ve also discovered tiny seedlings of what I really hope is the chaenorhinum among the stones.

The foxgloves are doing very well and I’ve clearly got them to come in different colours for years yet as long as I tap the seed heads when the flowers are done.
