Frog Shower

 We made a very quick visit to the garden today to check on the new solar-powered watering system. It is doing fine (more in another blog entry)

 It wasn`t the only solar-powered item in the garden. There is a new floating fountain which is very pretty. The big green frog, who needs a name really, was loving it.

The barley bale which Anne put in the pond has really begun to pay off. The blanket weed is dying. As I fished it out I found numerous baby newts which I carefully returned.

The garden is looking so pretty in the June heat.

Here is the candytuft which seeds itself every year.

  I just had time to cut the edges after Anne had mowed earlier.

The poppies are beginning to look straggly but I want the seed heads to dry out properly before I collect. Many plants collapsed in the recent rain and broke away from the base.

Such a shame as the bees love them so much.

Here are Jan, Julie and Hollie taking the donkeys for a walk in the lane.

 

 

 

 

 

 

So drive carefully when you visit .... you never know what`s round the corner.
