More Fairies and Bags of Birds

It`s been a funny old day weather-wise. We made a quick visit to the garden today and I planted statice and four cucumber plants in the greenhouse. This year they are in pots and protected by fleece.
Steve was busy spreading chipped bark and assessing what`s needed to improve the fruit net.




The pear blossom has set. Some may drop later.


The guinea pigs were all playing with their toys. They are not quite so nervous.


This bumble bee was hard to follow with the camera but I included this photo because ofthe incredible amount of pollen on its legs. It`s just loving the comfrey.


The chives are looking good.


Bruce is happy with his new(ish) hat.



We have aquired some new patioware. Anne, Steve and I have plans to brighten it up a bit.
More later!!

On the way to the garden we saw a buzzard on a telegraph pole.
On the way home we saw a green woodpecker.

At home it is a frenzy of planting too, in between showers.
The greater spotted woodpecker has been visiting regularly, for peanuts.






 The rose garden looks lovely.


 A lot of people enjoyed the fairy garden pictures so here are a few more.



I planted the tiny rockery plants from the boot fair.



 This one has tiny star flowers.
They are perfect in the setting.

When it began to rain this afternoon we had a good tidy up in our shed, throwing out lots of things we don`t use any more. It was a good job done
