It rained while I was at work today so I got damp when I opted to sit on the garden rocking chair this evening. Ben wisely chose to enjoy the sun sitting on the coldframe. The view from the chair is a bit different and I noticed a few new blooms out - the main ones of note being the Dutch irises & my wee white jacob’s ladder. I’m pleased that my broad beans are looking healthier as the salad cropping continues.

A bit of birdwatching followed as the goldfinches in particular appreciated the fill up of the nigella seed. The robin seemed to appreciate the suet balls being topped up too. I did a bit more caterpillar squishing and doused the bush again in rhubarb leaf spray.
