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. Iā€™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

Iā€™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

Iā€™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 Iā€™ve been outdoors most of the day. Iā€™ve tidied up the front garden and then sat & enjoyed the Magic Garden.

Wednesday

Weā€™ve still got cold grey weather. Ben went out briefly while I took photographs and did a little watering. The pink of the ā€˜domesticatedā€™ 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.

Sunday

Iā€™m very tired again today but I carried on potting up my cucumbers and potting on other plants. I then sat and enjoyed the Magic Garden

Saturday

Ben and I had a lovely long day in the Magic Garden today. I planted the foxgloves in the shade of the blackcurrant and Bramley apple tree and the latest catnip slightly further along near the hedgehog house. This afternoon I spent some time potting on courgettes, squashes and cucumber.

Friday

Its been a beautiful if not very warm afternoon. Ben and I spent it in the Magic Garden. Ben has a new valerian cat toy which is smelly but he clearly like very much. I was happy just to be doing some macro photography

Thursday

Iā€™m tired today and it has been cold and grey so although Ben and I sat in the Magic Garden, the only thing I did was some watering and Ben enjoyed the catmint that has not made its way into the ground yet.
