I’m aching all over this evening having been in the Magic Garden all afternoon. I tidied up around the gooseberries and back corner including tying up the blackberry. The poor gooseberry has got sawfly caterpillars trying to defoliate it - I squashed a whole lot and have ordered some nematodes to try and control the problem.

Ben has stayed around me all day which has been lovely, snoozing while the bees enjoyed the garden especially the chives and alliums scattered through the Magic Garden.

I planted out the celeriac in to a new trough and watered it heavily. I then harvested some more salad and some rhubarb.
