It was a hot day but the watering is getting much easier,
not so critical.
The polytunnel was still a very humid 40 degrees.
I managed to pull out the melon plants, now finished, before I had to get some air.
It is great to see the grass growing again.
The sunflowers are beautiful.
Unfortunately in the recent wind, one of the biggest, multi-headed, snapped off at the bottom.
Here is a survivor.
Even some late gladioli are making an appearance.
The dusky damsons and blooming plums are being checked each time we go to the garden.
There are enough here to get the jam on the go ....
my first job tomorrow.
Also a few Katy apples and one or two dropped pears.
Lots of happy campers around.
One little girl and her mum had had a great time following the fairy trail and enjoying all things fairy.
The sharp-eyed little girl helped me find the stone ladybirds.
Their spots are disappearing and need to be painted again.
The mother, with stunning copper penny hair,
tidied up the fairy yurt.
Thank you so much for that.
The other day I watched intrigued, as the smallest tortoise tried to escape. He didn`t seem to realise that even if your claws go through the gap, your shell will not.
My sister has completed an incredible embroidery which we`ve made into a cushion.
I have been trying out pompom turtles.
The crochet alpacas are popular.
Here are the latest wands. They are made from willow trimmed from our very own willow arch.
Each one is individual and has a name.
You will have to hurry as there are only a few left now.
I have some wizard wands on the go.
Here are some flower petal fairies.
I seem to have been doing a lot of crochet lately, most of it experimental.
Having cut all the grass edges and cut back anything dead or tatty in the flower beds, the garden is looking a lot tidier.
Many perenniels are shooting up again.
The next job to tackle is, the tremendous nettle growth all round the garden. Some paths are almost blocked.
Long sleeves for that though.
