Ollie the owl is now in his new home. Anne saw the potential in the double treetrunk and we have completed the look using pyrography and a carved beak. I think he looks quite at home by the pond.
We are very pleased to see our first "red" flower on the half-price waterlily from B and Q. There are 2 more buds showing. The wild flower areas are just coming into bloom and I spotted my first butterfly in the butterfly garden....I think it was a Comma. Charlie was busy mowing the lawns and there were quite a few campers around, buying plants, eggs and crafts. I managed to get most dock and burdock seedlings out of the new asparagus bed without disturbing the roots, which are still settling in. Steve was busy building the base for a huge water tank, from recycled flat lumps of hardcore. The tank will collect run-off water from the barn which will mean less mains water being used. One more cucumber has collapsed but not from wilt.
The first cob layer is drying nicely despite the rain and it`s now ready for the next section.
